The well-publicised issues in the Red Sea have negatively impacted shipping routes from Asia to the UK, extending sailings from 4 to 6 weeks. This extended duration ties up shipping equipment for longer periods, resulting in less availability for new shipments. Compounding this problem, the surge in imports to the UK has made it increasingly difficult for shipping agents to allocate slots for containers. Consequently, we all face delays in product arrivals, and prices are expected to jump dramatically in the coming months!

Given this scenario, you might think Flue & Ducting Ltd would face significant supply issues and hike prices to cope with the rising shipping costs, which are expected to reach $20,000 per container. Well, you’d be wrong!

Supporting our community of loyal customers!

At Flue & Ducting Ltd, we work tirelessly to bring you the best products at a fair price, delivered at a time of your choosing. Through meticulous planning, we ensure we aren’t adversely affected by situations like the current shipping crisis. We forecast and order all our stove products a year in advance, maintaining robust stock levels to avoid running out.

We do this at great cost to ourselves to provide you with continuous service. We strive to keep our prices stable, even in challenging times. I am delighted to announce that we intend to maintain our stove prices throughout this period and will implement NO PRICE INCREASE!

We take this decision with our loyal customers in mind, hoping that our longstanding relationship continues to benefit us all. Thank you for your continued support.

Thank you.

Andy Nelson, Group Operations Manager
