Buildingspares is a platform which allows its users to buy and sell via classified ads mainly within the limit of the Construction and related Industries within the U.K. It is a way of reducing landfill and Buildingspares is built around an ethos as such. We offer the FIRST share a skip initiative of its kind in the U.K and are proud to promote these services as well as Live Scrap.

It is important to keep in mind that once you post your advert, you cannot change the category your advert has been listed in, so make sure you choose the best one for you. A good way to get an idea of where your advert should go if you aren’t sure is to search for similar adverts and checking which category they are posted under.

A buyer, prospective tenant or even an employer will claim to have sent you a bank transfer,Paypal payment or cheque for more than the value of the items / rent / job. They’ll then ask for the surplus money to be returned to them or a third party. However, the Paypal payment email or bank transfer email would be fake and would have never credited your account or the cheque will end up bouncing and the payment will be deducted from your bank account.

You can sign up and post ads of items you may not need or use any more. Just select a Category where you wish your item to be under and select the coverage you’d like when selecting an ad. It is possible to save your ad as a draft and you can post later. Any items illegal, or posts in breach of copyrights or any other form of infringement to the Law. You have the option of now stating delivery information. Local Tradesmen or persons interested in your items can contact you and collect your unwanted good.

  • Posting in Appliances: You can sell your unwanted appliances to someone else if you no longer need, such as a landlord of a property looking for something not brand new, or someone else on a budget perhaps.

  • Bathrooms: Over ordered on tiles? Then why not sell them? Sometimes just a few tiles get a job done, such as a front porch, or small lavatory. It helps to state the retail price you would have paid and what you are looking for, there are the options when posting.

  • Building Materials: It’s amazing the materials that don’t end up being used get buried.
