Has anyone any experiences with Gibbs and Dandy builders' merchants?
They're part of the Saint Gobain empire, although seemingly different from
Jewson (also owned by S-G).

As usual for BM's, they don't quote prices on their website. So I opened an
account. But even if you have an account they don't quote prices. There's
a 'request a quote' button on their website, which I duly filled in and
submitted and... nothing.

Wondering if there's anything worthwhile to be had price-wise by continuing
to chase them, or if I'm better off going to Wickes? I'm not going to be
buying large quantities of stuff.

I have had an account since around 1980 with their Luton branch.

You probably need to phone for a quote currently. I think discounts are
linked to *expected trade levels*!

Best to get some figures elsewhere and then negotiate.
