Focus on... Re:BUILD

Re:BUILD is a brand new surplus building material reuse business based in Croydon.

It collects high quality unused building materials and products from the construction industry, offering a convenient and cost effective collection service and enhanced publicity. These building materials and products are then sold to the local building trade and DIYers through a retail outlet at the Re:BUILD Store, redirecting them from disposal and bringing them back into use.

Materials available include bricks, blocks and board as well as anything from bathroom or kitchen suites, fire doors, lintels, flooring and timber. This service is available to businesses in the South East of England. To find out more about the collection service or to register for a weekly update on items for sale email Kate.McPhee@bioregional.com or call 07814 934 305.
