So how come people are happy pay all the money up front to B & Q for them to fit a kitchen or bathroom, or pay a huge deposit to Anglian or Everest Windows, who are huge companies with massive cash reserves, but when it comes to a small independent trader, people think it is acceptable that a deposit shouldn't have to be paid?

Quite.

I was just going to suggest that! That's what I did when I had my house renovated! I got a few quotes and negotiated with the cheapest! Easy peasy!
