You can generally get through two pad cycles on one set of discs, provided you're not a monstrous with the brakes. It's not normal the discs need changing in conjunction with each pad change - ask him if there's a lip on the edge of the discs, and if there is how much. If there's only a slight lip, then the discs are fine and you'll get a few thousand miles out of them yet. If there is a considerable ridge then the discs will need changing.
I personally think you should go to an independent... where in the UK are you?
