Surplus Rockwool & Mineral Wool Buyer's Checklist Portsmouth 2026
Every Portsmouth buyer needs a consistent inspection process for mineral wool. This 2026 checklist covers what to check, questions to ask the seller, and how to protect a payment.
Before you go
- Ring ahead — confirm the mineral wool is still on the yard
- Ask for photos of the exact stock
- Confirm price per unit and total
- Route-plan to the Portsmouth yard, factor in weight for return trip
On the yard
- Rockwool RWA45, Knauf Earthwool, Isover — sealed factory packs
- Same A1 non-combustible fire rating as new
- Standard 100mm, 150mm and 200mm depths
Payment protection
- Prefer card over cash for larger buys
- Get an invoice with VAT number where applicable
- Photograph loaded vehicle before leaving
- Keep receipts against manufacturer warranty (surplus)
Collection and delivery inside Portsmouth
Most Portsmouth sellers hold stock inside PO1, PO4 and PO5 and offer South Coast next-day £55–£90. For loads over a tonne of mineral wool, a hiab drop is usually more economical than multiple van runs.
Frequently asked questions
+Can I return unused mineral wool?
Rarely at yard level. Order accurately; sell any surplus on SurplusBuilder afterwards.
+Can mineral wool get wet?
Recovers if it dries fully within 48 hours. Prolonged saturation permanently reduces R-value.
+Does SurplusBuilder mediate Portsmouth disputes?
Yes — verified sellers agree to a mediation process for disputes over quality or delivery.
