Most Southampton sellers hold stock inside SO14, SO17 and SO18 and offer South Coast next-day £55–£90. 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 Southampton?
Most South East 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.
