Storage tips for tricky materials:
- Plasterboard: Keep it flat, dry and off the ground on level supports in a covered area. Preferably inside.
- Insulation: Keep it wrapped if possible and store it in a clean, dry and ventilated space.
- Sheet timber (plywood, MDF, OSB, etc.): Always store flat on level bearers or supports, off the ground and out of direct rain or sunlight. Pre‑installation acclimatisation in a dry area for 48–72 hours is recommended.
- Cement and mortar: Keep bags dry and elevated (best on on pallets or wooden boards).
Here are some building supplies that DIYers and renovators often search for in London: part pallets of matching bricks and blocks, structural timber in long usable lengths, offcut plywood/MDF/OSB sheets, insulated plasterboard, unopened rolls of insulation, excess roofing tiles and slates, bundles of ridge and hip tiles, unused membrane and damp-proof courses, guttering and downpipes, reusable internal doors and window frames, kitchen fittings and unopened packages of adhesives and grouts.
