When I read your above post I assumed UK (flat) but then when I read the rest of your comment I wondered if you were living in the US but this confirms UK. I’ve never had any issue buying decent quality building materials and fixtures and fittings across 2 full house renovations. There are things to avoid from all of the big name stores and brands that are targeting the cheap landlord market but in the main I’ve had no difficulties finding good quality parts at reasonable prices here. Most of IKEA is rubbish with one exception, kitchens, far better than B&Q, wickes and Wren - probably not as good as Howdens but far better than would be expected I feel.
