Dear group,
just visited my local timber merchant for ten 22mm chipboard floor panels.
They quoted me £7.50 a sheet inc VAT which is 50 percent more than B&Q's
18mm ?Is this the going rate ?
thanks...

Was that their "best price"? Last time I bought a load of T&G chipboard I managed to get the timber merchant down to about 60% of his original quote (which started off more than the sheds), just by quoting other suppliers prices to him, got free delivery included too. It was quite a bit more than 10 sheets though.
just isn't "English" to haggle :-(
it's made me wonder if I might find these and mainstream stuff like 2x2 cheaper in builders merchants - I'll try Jewsons ...

A couple of years back, Jewson couldn't/wouldn't match the wickes price for chipboard T&G, they were about £1.50 a sheet more.
I may end up having to take delivery of the other 10 sheets I won't need for a while, plus some of the 2x2 and thereby have more scope for doing a deal.
The annoying thing is that Wickes / B&Q don't carry the 22mm stuff.
(my Victorian joists are not conveniently spaced for 18mm chipboard)
