Building materials sourcing
Building Materials Sourcing from China for UK Developments
Tiles, flooring and building materials sourced direct from factories across Guangzhou, Shenzhen and Foshan — priced and delivered as part of a single consolidated build spec.
What we source
Tiles & ceramics
Flooring
Aluminium profiles & extrusions
General building materials to spec
Duty and classification
Building materials carry a wide spread of UK Global Tariff duty — aluminium profiles and extrusions typically around 7.5%, other categories vary from 0% up depending on the exact commodity code. We confirm the exact classification and duty rate before you commit to an order, so the landed cost you're quoted is the landed cost you pay.
For a full build spec spanning multiple material categories, we consolidate everything into one order and one container where possible — reducing per-item freight cost and simplifying customs clearance to a single shipment instead of several.
How we work
- Factory options returned within 48–72 hours of your brief, with photos, specs and pricing
- Physical samples shipped to your UK address before bulk production, if needed
- Every order inspected before shipping, with a full pre-shipment photo report before the container seals
- All-in landed pricing — product, freight, customs clearance, duty and delivery — no hidden charges
