Our Top Tips for Using Reclamation Yards...​

• If you are looking for something specific have any information you need to hand, particularly dimensions.

• Take a tape measure. We are always loosing ours!

• Wear strong footwear. There's a lot of heavy stuff about.

• Be prepared to route and rummage. Allow yourself time to have a really good explore.

• Ask for advice. We're always happy to help.

• Take photographs. You can share them with your builder.

• Be open minded. There may be lots of different ways of achieving your desired outcome.

• Don't expect things to be perfect. If  something is handmade or very old it isn't going to look like the version you buy in B&Q. 

• Do some research. SALVO Uk is a great website for Salvage Dealers that you can access. Find out how much things cost, source stock, find inspiration...and all from your armchair.

• Take your builder with you. If you aren't doing your project yourself this can be really helpful.
