it's not a bad price TBH but it's just a little over what we can afford at the mo

now to me thats just a random figure plucked out of the air.
no tiling in quote as i said i would do it, could i maybe get that done for free if i buy the tiles, (wall&floor)
do you think they'll come down any ??

i'm really bad at haggleing what do i do ??

had quotes from B&Q £2605 supply only
howdens £2400 supply only

Just tell them that they £1000 more than their competition and one of 3 things will happen

1. They will refuse to budge
2. They will start discounting
3. They will knock £1000 off

If 1 or 3, walk away.

B&Q wanted about double again to fit theirs.
Howdens, i would need to arrange all other trades

not to sure on how to aproach it

just ask them, if they will give you a discount if you purchase today - they will either say no or yes remember they want the sale! if you dont ask you dont get - good luck
