Looking for rooflights, upvc windows etc, local suppliers mainly shut. Had a trawl across the web and lots of the websites had notices saying shut down.

Tried to go on Wickes website who are still offering home delivery. Due to unprecedented demand, you are in a queue, waiting time. 2 hours.

update. 45 minutes

Its a bit of a lottery out there, although the likes of TP Jewsons etc closed i managed to get 20 tons of aggregate delivered albeit in about 5 days time and cheaper than usual from a local haulage company. AS you're aware Screwfix are still open not sure what you're after.

Otherwise i guess you just need to keep phoning around some still seem/need to be open.

Yeah got a load of ballast & timber arriving from local builders merchant today, they're doing deliveries for account holders.
Window - found exactly what I needed on Amazon. Good price too.

The supplying company is based oop north, I've spoken to them direct and they're coming down to Cornwall middle of next week.
Purrrrfect.
Just need to sort out some fibreglass for the roof and I'm cooking on gas.
 
Had a look at the source code on the Wickes site. When it transfers you to the queue - disable javascript and try again ;)

preferences > security > uncheck enable javascript (on safari)
have you got any good ideas for tescos delivery slots? :)
my wife keeps trying and they never show up -or when they do the system slows down and when it recovers theyve all gone.
 
I spend my day job helping companies protect their IP. First thing I try to do is break it.

no point in protecting something that is worthless. :D
