Where do I get lime from?

Simon A · 21st June 2005, 14:10

I'm currently looking for a supplier of 2.0-5.0mm lime (either sofnolime or spherasorb) but am having fun trying to find where stocks it.
Can anyone let me know of a supplier in the UK, and roughly what the going rate is?
Thanks

Molecular Products in Thaxted, Essex make Sofnolime. When I enquired about purchasing direct from them it worked out more expensive than buying from AP Valves directly because they were shipping out of a warehouse in Aberdeen.

I'd go the AP route.

Alternatively, Andy Goldby has just purchased a pallet of spherasorb and was looking to sell some on at cost. PM me and i'll send you his email address if interested.

For SpheraSorb you want Intersurgical who are based in Wokingham - if you buy it from them it'll be £23.00 + VAT for 2 x 5kg tubs, and free delivery if you're getting over £100.
Or try the Andrew Goldby route.

Cheers folks,
I mailed Andrew when he floated the Idea, and hadn't had a response when I made this post. Andrew has since contacted me.

Rob,
For Spherasorb, buying it direct could be good for the future. Wokingham is a mere 7 miles down the road from me.

I buy from Divex in Aberdeen, around £70 a keg including VAT and next day delivery.
