I agree with the faff part - I started doing this for my garden office, but stopped. Even though the faff would have been worth it (to the tune of a few thousand), my company accountant warned me right off having my ltd own the office, as it could significantly impact my personal tax liability in the future (to the tune of tens of thousands).
Having trade accounts was still useful, though, as the rates were a lot better with some companies.

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).
