Frequently asked questions

+What's the minimum job lot in Cardiff?

Most Wales sellers set one pallet as the minimum. Sub-pallet quantities revert to per-unit pricing.

+Can mineral wool get wet?

Recovers if it dries fully within 48 hours. Prolonged saturation permanently reduces R-value.

+Can I split a job lot with another buyer?

Yes — SurplusBuilder listings often show "split available". Coordinate with the seller before payment.
