Introducing the Trade Card and Trade Account

Additional Benefits

By creating a trade account or applying for a trade card, this can bring many other benefits. In some cases, some companies will match online prices to in-store prices, give special offer deals and a whole host of other great benefits.

How Much Can I Save?
The typical savings that a self builder will make on the materials purchased through Trade Accounts and Cards will vary depending on the mix of products purchased.
In many cases Trade Card and Account holders deserve a high level of dedicated and specialist service and many companies will recognise this. With this in mind you can expect to receive advice on choosing and ordering your materials and goods from dedicated staff . Again, this can very much depend on the company and their own individual policies
