The Wickes Pink Foam Clearout!
« on: 04 May 2015, 01:49:39 PM »
Just to let people know, Wickes is clearing their Knauf pink foam boards at £1.99 each. Unfortunately none are to be found in any of the stores in the Nottingham area :(

If you live just north of Brighton though, one of the stores there has 370 sheets in stock!

The wife said no.  :'(

But I might have some time later in the week to pick up on behalf of others if there is any left.

Update: Blimey, only 180 left now!

Yup but experiment first as it can be a bit of a trick to get it right.

Havant had a load listed when I was looking around last night, bit closer to you I think.

Thanks. Just noticed I typed "car able" but of course I meant car able! Does anyone know if they are ceasing to stock it or if it's just a seasonal discount?

You did it again ;)

I assume you meant carvable, to which the answer is yes.

Ceasing to stock it, I read elsewhere that Knauf have stopped making that particular type.

Guildford had some a few weeks ago...I bought six sheets (all I could get in the car even with the roof down). They might still have some left.
