Building supplies shortage & in-stock Stressline & Catnic lintel availability

Building supplies shortage & in-stock Stressline & Catnic lintel availability

As material shortages persist, we have over 5000 Catnic and Stressline steel lintels in stock.

For anyone working in the construction sector, the global shortage of construction supplies (steel included) has proved challenging over the last few years. The continued supply constraints have seen manufacturers introduce quotas, effectively rationing the available supply of lintels to UK construction firms and DIY buyers.

The BBC report back in May 2021 the Office for National Statistics projection of an 8% increase in material prices and a global shortage of steel as demand exceeds supply couldnt have been more accurate but 8% would now on reflection have been good news. Prices have since then risen by over 50% for many building products.

Continued supply available to our customers

At UK Lintels, we’re fortunate to be the UK’s largest single site stockist of Catnic and galvanized lintels and were well prepared for the shortages in 2021 and beyond. With a generous stock holding and our two acre Bristol depot, we have been able to continue serving our customers despite the challenges.

Even as material shortages persist in our industry, we have over 5000 Catnic and Stressline steel lintels in stock with a value of over £3.5m at current list prices. All of the products advertised on our website are ‘in stock’.

Planning for future lintel supply constraints

In order to continue serving our customers, we are receiving two artic lorry deliveries per week, with over 60 tonne of Stressline and Catnic steel lintels arriving each month.
