Moved to a new area struggling for a good trade shop. - Tile Advice

[Tiler855]

Hi Long time lurker first time poster.\

Recently moved to a new area so kinda starting again building up clients ect but the works coming in steady so i,m not complaining.

My main issue is i,ve always had a Topps Tiles close to me and used them for Bal products but now i,ve got the choice of Wickes / screwfix for the majority of my materials but i,ve been making the 40 minute round trip to go to a Topps Tiles store ( luckily i do have to pop into the town a few times a week so i stock up ). My question is do any other working tilers use or have used Wicks or Srewfix for wall Adhesive / quick set floor and grout ? I have used some of these products over the years but only when the customer has supplied or ive been working far away and had to pop into a branch to grab a tub / for for a small job.

where we rating these products ?

Thanks in advance

Screwfix sell Mapei and they're good. What other brands do you find you can get hold of near you? You been to any independent tile shops? Can you find CTD Tiles anywhere near you at all?
