How much do you pay for them?

The last time I bought them, they were about £18 for a box.

Does anyone know where to get them at a better price?

buy sheets of 1 inch insulation from the builders merchants, about £6 for a 12ftx8ft sheet, then cut it up as you need it.

I got a pile of styrene sheet once from a custys skip Mike.
Started cutting it up into blocks thinking this will save me a small fortune.
Bits of styrene everywhere and wouldn't stay intact......threw the bloody lot away

Hi John, i hope your well? Mike is bang on with what he says about the sheets from builders merchants-i do the same. However if you cut it with a saw then it does go everywhere, but if you cut it up with a sharp-bladed stanley knife then its no problem at all.

I may give it a try Damian....perhaps the styrene I was using was not compact enough.

My grandma was from Yorkshire and she used to say, look after the pennies and the pounds will look after themselves

Haha, dunno what you mean John  If youre saying im a tight g!t then i'll take that as a compliment But of course you are completely right-i am!!

Dont use them, cause irreversible impact damage because of weight distribution on such small surface area.
Use flat objects, rags, bin bags, foils etc or similar.
You've been warned!

I have to say I agree with Matt. Some years ago I stopped using foam blocks because of the damage they do to carpets.

this is why i use the insulation sheets, if the object is heavy then use a bigger peice to spread out the wieght.

 for something big like a welsh dresser (which has a large floor contact area) I use a sheet off bubble wrap which cover the full area but acts like a glide you can move it with one hand, I get this from the skip behind DFS

Spickandspan,

"If at first you dont succed.......Dont try skydiving"

I love that one!

[spickandspan]

Ha ha yes i liked

[AJB]

I find the packing from around fridges and freezers
to be the best as it is very highly compact.
cut with a sharp stanley knife.

as im a bouncy castle hirer too i have loads of bouncy castle material offcuts from the manufacturers which i use to place under furniture, works a treat

Richard

[calmore]

I use freezer/food bags.

Seem to do the trick.

[RAM Cleaning]

the reason i like the bouncy castle material to put under furniture is there is no way a custy can forget its there as they are brightly coloured lol
