Woodfibre insulation boards

[Zebra]

The company who supply the brand of woodfibre insulation boards which I've been using, has gone into administration, and can no longer supply them. I've done the external wall insulation, now I'm using them internally on another part of the house. I've run out halfway through the job, and none of the other available brands seem to match exactly the size, the thermal value or the tongues and grooves on the boards I've been using.
Anybody know where I can get hold of 12 Steico Protect H boards, 40mm thick?!

Sorry to hear that Zebra... Not what you need!! Have you tried contacting the Administrators directly? Is it a UK company?

I'm not sure who the administrators are. I've tried ringing the suppliers themselves, but the phone is unobtainable. It's actually the parent company who's gone into administration, and I could try their number but they may be too big a firm to deal with such a small enquiry. Might be worth a try.
I may have to buy a different brand and make it fit!!

I would try the Green Building Forum if you haven't already, they may well have more information and you may be able to source some end of line stock through the grapevine.

You can search online for companies in administration. These links might help:

Alternatively, if it's just the supplier in administration can you find another one? Can you contact the manufacturer directly - I'm sure they'd be only too happy to direct you to another supplier.

The manufacturers website has a map of distributors, maybe someone not too far away has some. Hope it's just the supplier that is administration, not the main European company.

Thanks AMc, tried the Green Building forum, got a lead but it's a dead end.
Thanks Flyfisher, spoke to the administrator, that too was a dead end, and a slightly more convoluted one.
Lady A, ooh, that map might be the thing.
Otherwise I've found a possible alternative product.
Meanwhile, more setbacks, I'll start another thread...........Thanks all
PS, Lady A I am abashed, that from the other side of the world you're advising me about suppliers less than 100 miles away!
