Frequently asked questions
+What's the minimum job lot in Belfast?
Most Northern Ireland sellers set one pallet as the minimum. Sub-pallet quantities revert to per-unit pricing.
+Is reclaimed sandstone frost-proof?
Yes — stone that has survived 100+ UK winters is proven. Check for spalling from salt damage.
+Can I split a job lot with another buyer?
Yes — SurplusBuilder listings often show "split available". Coordinate with the seller before payment.
