Typical, I finally post it and then look on the WIckes site as I have
been doing for weeks and they appear to have what I need... forget my
ramblings!!
They have only a very limited range and will no longer order other
sizes.


See my other post.

Thanks for the info and link, very useful... However I'm a little
confused, the prices on the Premdor site are much higher than what
Wickes sell the doors for.. How can this be?


Discount.- Hide quoted text -

I dont see how Premdor can sell a door for £80 and the same door which
has been sold to Wickes by Premdor costs only £20 in Wickes... isnt
the middle man supposed to make it more expensive, so to make a
profit? Obviously Wickes buy them in bulk at a greatly reduced
rate..But surely not so much reduced that they can sell at a quarter
of the price?-


The price through my local stockist (Blanchfords, Princes Risborough)
was very similar to what I would have paid in Wickes and included free
delivery. I was advised that if I only wanted 4, it would be cheaper
to buy 5 and throw one away so there is some element of discount/
minimum order at work. As it happens I did want 5 so it was not an
issue for me.
