[MTiler]

Hi peeps
I heard recently that Pilkingtons have gone under!
I inherited a job from another tiler who'd under quoted the meterage. The tiles were Pilkingtons from B&Q and we couldnt get anymore as all their stock had been recalled and were told theyd gone into liquidation. All good fun.

I believe you can still get Pilks but you have to contact the administrators and negotiate a price. I would image that you can only purchase warehouse stock as I'm sure that they are no longer manufacturing.

Good luck.

we were doing a large job in their tiles when they went ,bit of a nightmare as it took 2-3 weeks for the phones to start being answered .up shot was proformer invoice paid up front for any goods on a first come first served basis ,we managed to work around it but typical pilks if you ask me, just my opinion :mad2:

The way I heard it B&Q were allegedly were a major factor in their demise

major factor was over priced poor quality goods in my humble opinion, no offence but B.C.T are half the price
