Skilled operative @ £43.75 per hour plus material cost Many in the construction industry will be aware that the price of sealant has been rapidly rising over the past months going up over 80% in some cases due to a global shortage. Prices are predicted to rise further into 2019 and for the foreseeable future. We want to ensure customers that H Griffith sealants still have access to all materials, and although there will undoubtedly be a price adjustment to the market, we will honour all existing tenders/quotes we have already given. We would also like to reassure all future clients that we will be mitigating any rise in cost as much as possible. With limited information given to trades that work with silicone-based products some of the known reasons for the increases are Increase to price for key polymers and raw materials, especially siloxanes and MDi (main components in silicones and poly-based products Increases to costs for energy, transport and packaging Factories that drill the raw materials are increasing their percentage of stock supplied to the technology and cosmetic based trades, as they can charge significantly more to these trades, therefore decreasing the amount supplied to the construction market. This in turn means they can charge more as the material is harder to secure Chinese government has added new environmental restrictions on its own manufacturing infrastructure, plants in China that manufacture the fumed silica, which gives silicone its body, are closing creating further pressure on supply costs Dow chemicals, the lead silica plant in the USA, has instigated force majeure on polymer used in the production of ranges of pva, tile adhesives and water-based sealants and adhesives. With these being just a few reasons for the increases in cost. Rest assured we are doing all they can to keep prices as low as possible at this uncertain time. Unlike some we have and always will only use sealants produced by the leading manufacturers giving peace of mind quality that lasts.
