I've been shopping around for 50mm Celotex and the best I've found is about £20/ sheet from
https://www.directinsulation.com/celotex-insulation
That's about half what the DIY stores are selling for - has anyone used them? Are they reliable? Can't see what could go wrong but thought I'd ask - and maybe I'm overlooking something?

And just in case - does anyone know anywhere that's still cheaper and reliable and can deliver in South Wales?

Thanks
Chris
 
Unfortunately, Celotex has pretty much doubled (At one point almost tripled) in price over the last year because stocks are seriously low due to a shortage of a chemical used in the manufacturing.

I know you said you tried DIY stores which I assume is B&Q and the like which are rip-off merchants. Have you tried a proper local builders merchant? I can usually pick up 50mm celotex locally for about £14 a sheet with the one we have here.
 
if you are prepared to use 2 x 30mm instead of 50, and 2 x 4 size pieces are ok, there is a load reclaimed from a factory in Trefforest listed on Facebook Marketplace, £1.00 per sheet. I have just done my new workshop with it.
 
Thanks all, v helpful. And that might be an option, Blockplane - I found the ad, I'll see if I can get time to have a look over the weekend. Cheers.
