[Wanted] Steel Stockists in Bristol/Bath area

I'm after some CDS tube but finding a stockist is proving to be hard. I went into work a while ago and asked their stockist if he could provide what I wanted it's taken 6 weeks of going back and forward to get a quote. The price was surprisingly low, so when I confirmed it was CDS they said no, we need to get another quote for you.
So I'm after a 7m length of 38mm OD 3mm wall CDS tube.
Any ideas? 110 D250 SE HT

A quick Google produces quite a few possibilities. Does it need to be a single continuous 7m length? Do you require a CofC with it?

I had a google as well but my present experience of going with a stockist through work thinking it would be an easy solution was wrong.
Perhaps I should of clarified my post, does anyone have knowledge and used a reputable steel merchant.

CofC, I'm assuming certificate of conformity? If thats correct then no I dont.
As for 7m, when I was ordering through the company they said it came in 7m lengths as it was a special order.
I need about 5 or 6m but thought that the 7m would give me 1 cock up when cutting.
The reason, I have a Polaris RZR and managed to have a little incident with it and went end over end and bent the cage slightly, so new front hoop which I have, just need the roof rails replacing in 38mm tube. 110 D250 SE HT

5.7 m seems a common length, hence my question. Yes CoC is a certificate of conformity, most f the stuff we do (loco boiler work) requires them. I'll ask about and let you know.

Many thanks.
1 thing I have learnt in my searches is the difference between pipe and tube. Who'd of thought that they would measure it differently 1 being inside dia the other outside dia.
Why can't they just make it easy and everyone measure tube/pipe the same? 110 D250 SE HT

Have you tried Devizes Steel Supplies?
Not sure if they’ll have what you’re after but I use them regularly.
Also not the cheapest but worth a try.

Because that would be far too easy!
