https://www.selcobw.com/info/help/faqs#:~:text=Selco%20is%20exclusively%20for%20Trade,of%20our%20branches%20and%20online.

To get a Selco trade card account, simply fill out our registration form and supply one of the following proofs of business:
Business Card Letterhead Compliment Slip Certificate of Incorporation Your Company Invoice/Order Form VAT Certificate Tax Related Document CSCS card Tenancy Agreement (Landlords) Tenancy Deposit Protection Certificate Liability Insurance Certificate Company Bank Statement Check A Trade Reference Alternative Merchant Invoice CITB Web Log In Page Company Website Mybuilder.com Profile Accountant Confirmation Letter Van Signage Floor Plans and Blue Prints Payslips (Trade Company) Estate Agent's Correspondence (For Landlords) Official Sub Contractor Job Specification

Once you've completed the form, you'll get your trade card number straight away. Unlike with other builders' merchants, there's no need to wait to start buying whatever you need.

Note that buying overstocked supplies on ebay (or similar) would be cheaper (but slower) for a one-off build compared to going for retail minus vat.

going for retail minus vat.

I'm not sure why you'd not be paying VAT?

I assumed this was a journey towards 0% or 5% rated building supplies, perhaps not: buying as a business, being registered for vat, then applying for whichever status/refund.

Lots of faff for a one-off project compared to sourcing cheaper/slower supplies (in my opinion).
