B&Q errors and product failures causing delays and increasing costs help

UCTA - Unfair Contract Terms Act 1977
UTCCR - Unfair Terms in Consumer Contracts Regulations 1999
The definition of a consumer in UCTA can be applied to a company when not acting in the course of business but only to an individual under UTCCR.
Neither may be relevant to your situation of course.
Fundamentally if B&Q breached their contract with you then you are entitled to claim damages from them.
Given the sums involved I would get some proper legal advice. Contract disputes over supply of materials in the building trade are not uncommon and you shouldn't have much trouble finding an experienced lawyer.0
