At ours there selling the wylex ones and also nexus ones are £50 not sure of quality tho
if i go on a wednesday, i get 10% discount, so that makes em £54. £22 less than wholesalers. wtf is going on when joe public can buy at less than trade price. either b&q are making a loss or our suppliers are ripping us off.
my local b&q have put all their CUs on the top shelf out of reach. wonder if they are getting flak for selling direct to joe public. btw, did that MCB sort you out?I reckon its the latter!

the problem is that joe public knows he can get a wylex CU for £60 they are not a crappy make, far from it . so you buy a hager for £90, mark up a profit, say 15%-- quote the client £110 for a CU, which is nearly double what he can buy it for.Why are you buying stuff you can get in B&Q?
There needs to be a degree of seperation from the DIY market.
I have spoke about Hager, and I use it as I think they are good.
The other main reason is that B&Q don't stock them- this give us electricians an advantage- it means jo public is either going to force another MCB to fit (thus invalidating your guarantee) or ask you back to do more work
It's just plain business sense not to use shed supplied stuff as the quality is usually better (definately not any worse) and the client has to come back to me for further parts
