Frequently asked questions

+What's the minimum job lot in Portsmouth?

Most South East 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.
