- Air-dried for decades — dimensionally stable
- Nail holes and character marks add heritage patina
Collection and delivery inside Swansea
Most Swansea sellers hold stock inside SA1, SA2 and SA6 and offer South Wales next-day £52–£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 Swansea?
Most Wales 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.
