When I went in they said they stopped doing hardie boards I think originally they were 18 pound a sheet 1200x600 but I said they were too expensive as I could get hardie cheaper in topps tiles so I got them down too £14.75 including vat

Mike, get an account opened up at your nearest CTD.
I wouldn't pay anywhere near that for a backer board..

Why are you overboarding floors?

Even as a DIY'er I can get HBB 1200 x 800 12mm for £9.55 inc VAT & 6mm £8.76 inc VAT per Board

Why are you overboarding floors?

Wooden floors have to be overboarded for several reasons. Strengthen existing floor, strengthen against horizontal stresses.
Give a flat surface for tiling (waterproof system if needed) to name a few

I would go in & fill out a form & start with a cash account or ask them for a credit account.
I started with a cash account & shut it down last year, much easier with a credit account.

I got mine from Insulation Express Insulation Express | Specialists in Insulation and Building products

They are an online outlet for Sheffield Insulation. SI have lots of local outlets that they've bought up over the years and their big warehouses of course. Prices can be different at the various outlets. If you buy lots then you might be better with an account at SI themselves.
