Surplus PIR Insulation Manchester and the North West
Manchester and the North West are Britain's PIR clearance capital. Two major manufacturer plants sit within 90 minutes' drive, and the region's housebuilding volume produces a constant flow of over-ordered pallets. Prices here typically run £2–£3/m² below London.
Where the surplus comes from
- Persimmon and Bellway site clear-downs — end-of-plot leftovers
- Kingspan and Celotex factory seconds
- Insulation contractor clearances at project close
Typical Manchester listing
A common lot: 40 sheets of 100mm PIR, foil intact, minor corner dings, £180. Merchant equivalent: £900. Collection from an M14 postcode, curtain-sider access.
Frequently asked questions
+Is Manchester surplus PIR delivered to Yorkshire?
Yes — most sellers offer pallet delivery via Palletways or Palletline at £45–£85 across the North.
+How do I know it's genuine Celotex/Kingspan?
Ask for a batch-label photo. Both manufacturers print a plant code, date and product ID on every sheet.
