on friday tried to get hold of bret high kerb radials from my local builders merchants, jewsons, buildbase, sydenhams, travis and none of them had any radials or even straight bullnose kerbing from bret, buildbase got hold of bret in poole and organised it so i could go there and collect them myself 110 mile round trip, so went there this morning to pick up 14 radials to make a half circle step as brochure says 7 needed for a quater of circle so i thought 14 for a half circle so went to collect them, got back to my job in andover and dry laid them to find out the size so i could centre mark the door frame and where i would need to start laying from, after laying the 14 blocks out i discovered that 14 blocks did not make a semi circle, i needed 1 more radial block, so the choice is now either make another trip down to poole or pay the £90 they want to deliver 1 block

    Cut one from a standard bullnose kerb with a good diamond blade, use it as a starter, once pointed it will never notice.
    Someone must at least have a standard one closer to home, try ringing a few local paving contractors or even builders. What about the local Brett rep?

    Looks like they have a min ordr value of £50 and may send individuals @ £7.50 del ?

    Could be cheaper option or even pop over Thames and collect ?

    thank for that, my customer said he will shoot down to poole tomorow to collect it for me, the ones that i am using are the radial tapered ones so there is no need for them to be pointed in, they just butt up against each other, haunched in front and back to stop any movement

    I think my supplier in Swindon may have some but I don't think that's any closer for you is it?
