Weekend Collection of Surplus PIR Insulation in London: 2026 DIY Guide
Weekend DIYers and moonlighting trades in London often can't collect midweek. This 2026 guide covers Greater London yards open Saturdays and Sundays plus SurplusBuilder listings that welcome weekend pickup.
Weekend-open yards in London
Most Greater London 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
