I need to buy some sheet metal but as I have not bought any in the past I have no idea where to get it from.

Could someone please point me in the right direction?

I just go round my local fabricators and ask nicely.

most local industrial estates have some form of fabricators. Have a look locally. I work in a school so the technology department is like an aladdins cave!

However you buy your steel...they generally charge for the weight....not the thickness of the steel *wink*
