Cherry Laurel Plants

in Plants
Hi there
I have a very long and large cherry laurel hedge in my garden, but there is a gap in at one point. I need some decent sized plants (5-6 foot) to plant in to work on bridging the gap.
I'm struggling to find anywhere locally to provide these, and when I look at the online providers, the ones I'm finding are not too bad for prices per plant, but horrendous for delivery - around £30-40!
Does anyone have any recommendations of suppliers who may stock these and which don't charge the earth for delivery?
Many thanks!

Yep, I'm happy to pay P&P but some of these are ridiculous. I bought 80m2 of turf the other day on two huge pallets and P&P was about £15; so £40 for two large potted plants is nuts!
How much growth do you think they will put on a year, Tetley? I'm a bit concerned not just about privacy (as this hedge looks out on the main road) but also as this area is the main 'trample zone' for my dog and I don't really have a way of fencing it off to keep him off it.
