Pressure on garden fountain prices in the current financial climate
We are always working to give you the best prices we can on all our garden fountains and water features.
The increase in vat to 20% has meant the costs of all inputs to manufature our stone fountain range have all gone up. In most cases this has risen by more than the actual vat increase because of the increased cost of fuel needed to deliver those inputs to wholesalers, for example white cement which which last year was around the ã7.00 per bag mark has risen this year to ã8.00 per bag, this represents a 14% increase.
To combat these price rises we have endevoured to buy materials in larger quantities to get the best prices, in doing so we have managed to keep our production costs down to last years levels.
The same factors are at play in the delivery of our finished fountains and water features, our main carrier is currently running a 14% fuel sercharge alongside the increase in vat.
We will try to hold our prices to last years levels for as long as we can in the hope that the price of fuel reduces in the coming months, it may be that some of our smaller fountains and water features will see a small price increase later in the year to cover some of the current increases.
Shipping to all uk mainland destinations is still and will remain free, the prices quoted for each water feature or fountain is the price you pay, we do not add shipping to the price.
