Weekend Collection of Reclaimed and Ex-Display Kitchen Units in Colchester: 2026 DIY Guide
Weekend DIYers and moonlighting trades in Colchester often can't collect midweek. This 2026 guide covers East of England yards open Saturdays and Sundays plus SurplusBuilder listings that welcome weekend pickup.
Weekend-open yards in Colchester
Most East of England reclamation yards trade Saturday morning; a smaller number open Sunday. Book collection slots in advance during peak DIY season (March–October).
Weekend logistics tips
- Book van hire on Friday for Saturday am collection
- Bring straps, sheets and a helper
- Pay by card on collection — most yards no longer take cash-only
- Check access: many CO1, CO3 and CO4 yards are unmanned Sundays

|---|---|---|
| Job-lot / bulk | £350 per full kitchen | Merchant clearance, palletised |

| Heritage / premium | £4,800 per full kitchen | Character grade, hand-picked |
What to check before the drive

Frequently asked questions
+Are Colchester yards open Sunday?
A minority — always ring ahead. Saturday morning coverage is much broader across East of England.
+Is weekend pricing higher?
Usually not — but weekend van hire is more expensive.
+How do I collect a full kitchen?
Book a Luton van with a tail-lift. A full kitchen (14 units + appliances) fits comfortably.
