Get mine from B&Q, I also use the double one's up the sides as door stops/draught excluders.

Try local handman shops, the one next to my work does 3 meter lengths for £1.20ish for the top and 87p for the bottom.

I have the black 5ft (1.49 meters) 4mm runers @ £5 per pair for top and bottom and £6.00 for brown/teak, postage is £3.85 for royal mail parcels as they are too long for 1st or 2nd class and max length royal mail take is 1.5 meters. Also have 6mm black.

PM me if you want any and can issue paypal invoice.

Although this is a lovely company please beware of using them, they take time to produce their vivs especially if they havent got any glass in (according to them their glass supplier takes 3 weeks to deliver their glass) and they deliver using TNT who when delivering our viv dropped it twice and broke the glass both times, we ended up cancelling our order and using Scales and Fangs to get our boas viv, bearing in mind that we ordered the viv on the 29th September and cancelled in January 08.

Not a rant at the company, just trying to make you aware of what could happen

Note they are correct glass runers with a raised ridge running along the middle of channel so glass slides smooth and does not grate. DIY stires just stock E channel.
