How to sell some old RSJs?

[u587162]

Builder is stripping out my house including some RSJs as part of our rebuild / renovation project.
Will I get much money for selling these beams as scrap? I have a couple or 3, maybe about 5-6m in length.

Don't worry. The builder will take them.

Exactly, are they not worth a few hundred quid?!

Just stick 'em on eBay.

It usually states in the contract that the contractor will remove all rubble and materials from site, so they are his RSJs - not yours.

Not in all jct contracts it doesn't.

If you can transport them a scrap yard will take them for reasonable money but if you have to get somebody pick them up the price nosedives. Scrap yards will usually give you the number of somebody that will collect.

Really??? If I had a builder in MY property, if I want something of mine left, I'd bloody well demand it be left as its my property not theirs, unless they quoted a reduction for any monies received for selling on removed items.

I asked my roofer to keep all scrap lead flashings for me to take to weigh in. He said all weighed in materials are the property of the owner and he only takes lead etc if the owner wants him to. Honest roofer!

And if the builder had a contract saying they could remove all materials would you pay them extra to leave the scrap. They may have worked the scrap value into their price to you.

Codswallop - they are never going to work the scrap price in - its a perk not a bargaining object.
