Is prefix 0300 for Charities, Non-profit & Gov users?
I thought so. It seems 0300 numbers get used in what I'd say was commercial-use, quite often.
B&Q: 0300 303 448 is one example. Have I got it all wrong or is this simply a case of non-enforcement?
Not sure where you got that number but B&Q use 0333 numbers:

For general enquiries, call 0333 014 3098

Many organisations use 03 numbers as an alternative to more expensive 08 numbers.
Calls cost no more than calls to geographic numbers (01 or 02) and must be included in inclusive minutes and discount schemes in the same way. Calls from landlines and mobiles are included in free call packages.
030 numbers were specially designed for not-for-profit organisations, charities and public bodies to offer consumers a single point of contact nationally. The BBC, the Met Police, the RSPCA, Oxfam, Relate, some local councils, Ofcom and a number of government departments use 030 numbers.
