About Building Spares Market

Building Spares Market is an online marketplace for second hand and spare building materials in the UK. Anyone can sell anything related to construction, DIY or landscaping that’s left over, unwanted or second hand.

Perfect for buying materials DIY home building projects. Great for tradesmen who have things to sell.

Having worked in construction, the creators of Building Spares Market have seen loads of good building materials and supplies end up going spare. Useful and sometimes expensive stuff gets thrown away when there’s someone somewhere who could make good use of it.

The tradesman/woman could make a bit of money, and the person buying it could get it super cheap.

We want to create an online construction materials marketplace, so people have an easy way to buy and sell spare building supplies in their local area.

What Spare Building Materials Do You Mean?

Ordinary Spare Building Materials

There are heaps of ordinary building supplies that end going spare in the normal cycle of work. Lots of low to medium cost things for lots of different jobs. This could be something like a few spare sheets of plasterboard, some spare lengths of timber, half a dozen bags of cement, half a pallet of bricks, a couple of rolls of Celotex insulation or a few sheets of plywood.

Or it could be almost anything. There are always over-orders, order changes, job cancellations and tonnes of reasons why people end up with spare materials.

Luxury Spare Building Materials

As well as the run of the mill things, there are also the more valuable and rarer things. This is things like brand new windows, doors, bathroom supplies or kitchen supplies that are mis-ordered or otherwise unwanted. Plus, there are big material overorders and or plan changes that mean larger quantities end up spare.
