Where to source planning-acceptable stock in Belfast

Frequently asked questions
+Does Belfast accept reclaimed for Grade II works?
Yes — reclaimed is usually preferred over new for Grade II and Grade II* repairs.
+Are surplus studs safe for load-bearing?
Metal studs are partition-only. Surplus performs identically to new for that role.
+Do I need a heritage consultant?
For Grade I and Grade II* yes. For local conservation area consents, a good architect suffices.
