That said, certain items \u2013 timber battens, chipboard, steel lintels and PVC products \u2013 remain in short supply.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe main concerns are around bricks and blocks, with some regions experiencing increased delays in securing supplies; concrete roof tiles, where lead times are averaging 24-30 weeks, and bagged cement.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere was some easing in the shortages of bulk and bagged cement in August, with additional cement brought from abroad; however, delivery has been particularly constrained by the lack of domestic haulage capacity.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cExtended delivery times will therefore likely continue until the end of the year and some allocation will likely remain in place.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>\u2018Factories piled with product that we cannot get out\u2019<\/h3>\n<p>They added: \u201cTransport issues continue to be the most common and pressing concern across the supply chain.\u00a0Global shipping capacity has been reduced by 25% since the start of the pandemic, leading to delays and high container prices, and there is little sign of relief as we head into the Christmas season.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe British Ports Association expects challenges to continue until at least the second quarter of 2022.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWithin the UK, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/hr-skills-news\/hgv-driver-shortages\/96262\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">shortage of HGV drivers<\/a> is affecting every sector and will take many months to resolve, despite Government action to increase driver testing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is a major contributor to delayed deliveries in all construction product areas; one manufacturer reported \u2018factories piled with product that we cannot get out\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe level of price increases for many products has moderated but this may be short-lived, due to continued pressure on costs of raw <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/planning-construction-news\/shortage-construction-materials\/98662\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">materials, labour and transport<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEnergy prices, particularly the doubling of the wholesale cost of gas, is also a critical factor for manufacturers, along with higher carbon prices related the increased use of coal-fired power stations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is likely to be exacerbated following a fire at a power facility in Kent shutting down a crucial link between the British and French power grids.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDespite the current challenges, by working closely and collaboratively, the supply chain is just about managing under unprecedented circumstances.\u00a0We are not out of the woods yet.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhile many factors could still cause disruption, we are currently in a better position than three to four months ago.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"mk-custom-module-container\">\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The UK is facing increased delays in securing bricks and blocks, as the shortage of HGV drivers and price increases continue to impact the materials crisis.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":16,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[308],"tags":[965,583,54592,585],"stakeholder_rel_tag":[172419],"contributor_rel_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-99492","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-plant-equipment-supplies-news","7":"tag-builders-merchants-federation","8":"tag-construction-products","9":"tag-coronavirus","10":"tag-cpa","11":"stakeholder_rel_tag-construction-products-association"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.9 (Yoast SEO v26.9) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Materials crisis in better position but industry \u2018not out of the woods yet\u2019<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The UK is facing increased delays in securing bricks and blocks, as the shortage of HGV drivers and price increases continue to impact the materials crisis\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/plant-equipment-supplies-news\/materials-crisis-delays\/99492\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Materials crisis in better position but industry \u2018not out of the woods yet\u2019\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The UK is facing increased delays in securing bricks and blocks, as the shortage of HGV drivers and price increases continue to impact the materials crisis.\u00a0\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/plant-equipment-supplies-news\/materials-crisis-delays\/99492\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Planning, Building &amp;
