I had the same problem and ended up having to order it in via the local Jewsons!

They only dealt with 10' x 4' sheets as well so I had a few bits left over ! It comes rolled up though so not as much of a nightmare to transport as you might think.

Cheers, Paul

was it very expensive?

I think about £40 three years or so ago, as best I can remember.......

Don't forget a large can of contact adhesive as well !

I payed £30 last year for a 10'x4' sheet from a local supplier in Bristol. Sadly, they don't delivery outside the city.

You might want to try contacting local shop and kitchen fitters to see if they have any offcuts. Folks on here always used to recommend this apporach; apparently, they're also looking to get rid of the stuff. :wink:

I managed to get some from my local builders merchant, so you may take that route.

I have got some offcuts you are welcome to have. I dont think I have got any white but I definately have some light yellow cream colour. I am near Boston in lincs.

It varies in price from about £20 and upwards. Do a search for International Decorative Supplies and see if you have a local one.

Edens at Snetterton. I don't think they sell the Formica brand, but I'm pretty certain they sell other makes of laminate.

cheers
