I'm simply trying to point out why adding a bit on isn't just some "punter" tax to cheat people out of extra money.

Conversely, the punter opting to avoid that by sourcing their own materials is not penny pinching. It is, after all, saving the tradesmen the cost of having to do it themselves.

In theory, but it’s often as much work letting someone buy the materials as it is getting them yourself. Sometimes more.

Not to mention when there’s not enough or it’s wrong or they don’t come in time. These things hurt when there’s no margin to cover them.

Ah - so you're saying that a discount is in order if the trade supplies the materials?
