    Up here in Scotland I got 100mm 7n dense £5.22m2 or 100mm 7n L/W £6.00 M2 ex VAT but these were full load prices. Part load was about 50% more.

    At present there appear to be 280 dense ones, still packed in pallets except one, on a well known website for about 15-20p each in about 3 hours time.

    Buyer collects :-).

    Crucial equipment:

    1 - Building project in Sarf London.
    2 - Mate with a Hiab who likes crates of beer.

    Okay, so 87p a block isn't a good price!

    Are they the 215 x 190 blocks? Too heavy for us!

    How many blocks are you after? That will be one of the biggest factors in determining what price you can get, working on a pound a block (inc vat) for small quantities of dense block sounds about right. If you are on a budget and want to be really green forget about enviroblocks and the like and stop off on all the local building sites when you are out and about and let them know you are after blocks..... save their excess from going in somewhere as fill and cheaper as well.

    Between 288 and 360. Unfortunately I need them soon. Plus I'd like to use recycled to gain Code for Sustainable Homes points.
