For sellers

Turn surplus stock into cash — in four steps.

A skip costs £250–£450 and the materials inside are usually worth more. SurplusBuilder connects you with buyers who need exactly what you're throwing away.

  1. 1. Snap & list

    Take 4–6 photos, describe condition and quantity, set a price. Most listings go live in under 5 minutes.

  2. 2. We match buyers

    Your listing surfaces to trades, contractors and self-builders searching in your category and region.

  3. 3. Arrange collection

    Most stock is collected by the buyer. Specify access, forklift availability and pickup hours.

  4. 4. Get paid

    Take cash on collection or use SurplusBuilder's secure escrow for larger transactions.
