- Using B&Q as a supplier of products for professional use

- Allowing customers to buy products from B&Q that you will fit.

I don't think I'd be happy with a plumber dictating what I had to fit.
Avocado is so '70s. But I'm sure you can get good quality ones cheap.

Allowing plumbers to recommend something you don't see - like a boiler -
doesn't seem too successful either.

I agree.

The customer should do their due diligence and select what they want.
There are far better ranges than those from B&Q and certainly far
better suppliers.

Some B&Q stuff is OK. I doubt that includes the cheap packages, though.

And if you want to see the suite in the flesh before buying, it might be
the only place you can do this in some areas.
