Due to the persistence and severity of increases in raw materials, packaging, fuel and the imminent energy cost hike, Bira Direct supplier Everbuild Building Products has announced an unavoidable price change on some of their products from 1st September 2022, but thankfully only against 3 SKUs.

Everbuild – A Sika company owned by Sika AG, are UK’s leading sealant, adhesive and building chemical brand.

Sika Everbuild have absorbed as much of these increases and held product prices where possible to help support Bira members as much as the business can but due to the impact of the increase in costs, Sika Everbuild are forced to increase their prices. They appreciate that price increases are never welcome but we are all too familiar with the exceptional circumstances in the world currently which are impacting both our professional and personal lives, it is unavoidable that increases as a result of this impact our industry however unwelcome this is for us all.

In a letter to their business partners and customers, they have said:

We continue to see upward cost trends on certain raw materials albeit in other areas we are finally seeing some cost stabilisation. The aggregate total of the areas where we are seeing increases has reached a level where we are required to increase the price of a few of the products in our range.

We are acutely aware that price increases may result in challenging times for you, our customer; so please do reach out to your local Business Development Manager should you need to discuss any specific pricing. In the interim, ordering patterns will be monitored with abnormal ordering patterns rejected due to stock availability. 

Yours Faithfully,

Darren Bunting - Business Unit Manager, UK Distribution, S&B and Building Finishing
