You supplying your own parts could be part of the problem. Most tradesmen prefer to use a brand of goods that they are familiar with and know are good to fit. They might also want to make a markup on goods supplied. You may well have bought the best bits in the world, but an engineer might fear the worst that it could be a cheap product with poor fixings that they could end up being responsible for in 12 months.

Trade would only be responsible for faulty goods or sorting warranty claims on faulty goods if the trade supplied AND fitted.

Fitting only they would never be responsible for faulty goods, faulty fitting yes, but not goods.

So I think the fact they make a mark up is more accurate.
