Toolstation discount, possible for a self-builder?

[Dreadnaught]

Is it possible to get a discount from Toolstation? As a self builder building an entire house I will be buying a lot.

 

Before I start spending too much, I'd like to lock-in some discounts if I can. Cash accounts only, don't need credit.

I've signd-up for a Toolstaion account online but not yet picked up a "Customer Card" in store.

 

Any tips about how to get discounts from builders merchants in general, but especially from Toolsation?

They have a trade card which gets 5% cashback and discounts elsewhere but no idea if a self builder can get one.

Thanks @Temp. Ah yes, this one: https://www.toolstation.com/content/tradecard. That looks like a MasterCard credit card. Not quite what I had in mind but might be an option.

When I tried Toolstation a couple of years ago their discounts seemed to be oriented to big customers such as public bodies.

 

Hope it has changed, and best of luck.

 

Judging by the companies involved, that looks like a Travis-Perkins group card.

 

There is a long thread about discounts etc that was running for 2-3 years, but fizzled out as I think we had covered nearly  everything in the toolbox.

 

Here.

Thanks @Ferdinand. Very interesting. Yes, I read that thread before posting, thank you. It look like Toolstation are quite miserly with their discounts.

 

And I will try some independent merchants of various sorts too, see what I can discover.
