Weekend Collection of Reclaimed Structural Timber in Norwich: 2026 DIY Guide
Weekend DIYers and moonlighting trades in Norwich 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 Norwich
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 NR1, NR2 and NR4 yards are unmanned Sundays
Pricing weekend collections
| Grade | Typical price | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Job-lot / bulk | £380 per m³ | Merchant clearance, palletised |
| Standard graded | £890 per m³ | Sorted, ready-to-fit stock |
| Heritage / premium | £1,400 per m³ | Character grade, hand-picked |
What to check before the drive
- Dense, slow-grown fibre — often 30–50% stronger than modern C16
- Air-dried for decades — dimensionally stable
- Nail holes and character marks add heritage patina
Frequently asked questions
+Are Norwich 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 check for woodworm?
Fresh exit holes with pale dust are active; dark, weathered holes are historic.
