    Building Supplies Online have always been cheapest for me.  
    There's usually a 5% code banging around somewhere.  

    And yes, they have.

    What else would you recommend from Building Supplies Online?

    I was sorely tempted by your tiles btw, but a 250 mile trip for something I may or may not secure was just too much of a chance to take.

    ETA: OMG you genius DG, I think I've found my room dividers!!!

    You can call them and ask to speak to the outlet people.  They're really nice.  We checked stock and bought some over the phone.  

    Dividers at BSO?

    Velux windows prices through roof!  If that was a deliberate play on words - well done.

    We used these.

    Not sure how they compare with velux, but we were advised they were cheaper.

    We found www.roofingoutlet.co.uk to be a bit cheaper when we ordered ours around May 2020.

    The price for the window we purchased has gone up by 3%, which doesn't feel too extreme. Maybe different variants have gone up by more. Delivery times have certainly increased.

    For this window type Building Supplies Online are currently just over 6% more expensive, but a 5% voucher plus the nice recommendation might make them the better option (not that we had any issues with our purchase).
