I need approx 1 foot of lightweight ally tube the same external diameter as standard black PVC rainwater downpipe. Any suggestions as to a supplier that deals in small amounts?

OK - it's 2.5m, but the price isn't bad at a tenner - but there is another
15 quid delivery, unless you are near enough Hatfield to go and collect. Maybe you can ebay the rest in short lengths?

it's probably not practical for you, unless you really can't get it elsewhere - but I've used those people before and they're OK. They will action a cutting list too.

Given your location I'd try George King metals

Sadly they closed some time ago. Think the owner retired and couldn't find anyone to take over the business.
Bu***r - only used them occasionally but always got what I needed.

Absolutely - and at what seemed reasonable prices. An Aladin's cave of metal stock. ;-)
There was a foot or so of Al tube on the fan of my old BF boiler (Gloworm Hideaway) but it's long gone I'm afraid. Maybe you can get a part? Cheers Don
