Job-lot inspection checklist

  • Air-dried for decades — dimensionally stable
  • Nail holes and character marks add heritage patina

Collection and delivery inside Hull

Most Hull sellers hold stock inside HU1, HU3 and HU5 and offer East Yorkshire next-day £50–£85. For loads over a tonne of timber, a hiab drop is usually more economical than multiple van runs.

Frequently asked questions

+What's the minimum job lot in Hull?

Most Yorkshire sellers set one pallet as the minimum. Sub-pallet quantities revert to per-unit pricing.

+How do I check for woodworm?

Fresh exit holes with pale dust are active; dark, weathered holes are historic.

+Can I split a job lot with another buyer?

Yes — SurplusBuilder listings often show "split available". Coordinate with the seller before payment.
