Surplus building materials solution online

One of the problems faced by tradesmen and builders is how to dispose of surplus building materials in a green way but two new websites are trying to help.

WhatDoIDoWithThis.com is one such site which is an online marketplace allowing people to purchase spare items and turning the problem into a profit for the seller.

George Colwell, managing director of the site, said: "The construction industry recognises that much of the waste on a site can be saved or reused and is under increasing pressure to adopt recycling waste procedures."

He added that DIY users could purchase the materials while builders would be satisfied they had done their best for the environment.

Everything needed for self-build of DIY is on offer including architectural salvage, bathrooms, masonry, insulation and roofing plus tools.

Some builders offer a loabout only service which means that you can fund the materials as the work progresses with quotes provided for trade price materials by the builder.
