Product Availability

Products marked as ‘Limited Availability’ on our website may have longer processing and delivery times due to restricted or fluctuating supply. If you are unsure about the availability or lead time of a product with limited stock, our sales team is on hand to assist and provide the most up-to-date information.
Products marked as ‘Made To Order’ on our website are bespoke items that are manufactured specifically to your requirements. Examples include partitioning walls, office doors, and other custom-built products. Due to the nature of these bespoke products, lead times - including production and delivery - are typically longer than standard stock items. We recommend contacting our sales team for detailed information on current lead times and delivery schedules. Please be aware that made-to-order products are non-returnable and non-refundable, as they are produced to meet individual specifications and cannot be restocked by our suppliers.
POA (Price on Application) products aren’t available to purchase online, as pricing is confirmed by our sales team - just get in touch and they’ll provide a tailored price and help place your order. For more details, please contact our sales team, who will be happy to assist you.
Discontinued products will be marked as ‘Discontinued’ on our website. Some discontinued products may still be available to purchase through certain suppliers who still hold legacy stock. If a product is no longer available, our sales team will be happy to help you find a suitable alternative. For any enquiries, please email us at sales@buildingmaterials.co.uk or complete the enquiry form.
