Sell a building to us

Photographs, rough dimensions and the postcode are enough to start. You get a figure and a collection date, or an honest explanation of why this one is not for us. Looking to buy a building instead?

Up to 8 images, 24MB in total. Corners, roof, interior and the joints are the useful ones. No photographs chosen yet.

Before you send

A few photographs and we can usually price it

Send whatever you have. If you are going out to take them anyway, these are the five that answer the most questions, and nobody minds if you only manage two or three of them:

  1. Two opposite corners

    Each corner shot captures two elevations and the roof line, which between them establish size and general condition.

  2. The roof

    From a ladder or an upper window where it is safe to do so. Standing water and patched membrane are what change the figure most.

  3. Inside, end to end

    One wide shot down the length. We are reading the floor, the lining and the layout.

  4. The joints between bays

    On modular blocks this matters more than anything else. Poor link detailing is where water gets in and stays.

  5. Corners and lifting points

    Close up. A building that cannot be lifted safely cannot be moved at all, which changes the job entirely.

Photograph the faults rather than avoiding them. A known defect gets priced once and the deal completes. An unmentioned one gets discovered by our driver on collection day, and then the whole thing reopens with both of us standing in a wet yard.

  • Paid by bank transfer once the building is on the lorry
  • Our own vehicles, so the date we agree is one we control
  • Buildings past saving get removed and disposed of instead — we will say which yours is

Would rather speak to someone?

Ring the yard. If the lorries are out, leave a message with a number and what it concerns and we will call back.
