A diamond disc outlasts numerous grit discs, cuts faster, and is much
safer. Get one, its that simple. But forget paying £25, they're way
cheaper from toolsatan.

True for concrete/masonry, but for cutting metal (such as the steel
identified by the OP), thin grit discs are much better.

Wickes discs are, I think, Norton - at least they look very much like
them. Anyway, they are good quality. Diamond discs are not all the
same. The quality (i.e. durability and speed of cut) varies
enormously.
