Condition grade 6/10 (B-grade). Assessed by the seller at listing; figures below relate to this specific lot of 80 sheets · 2.4×1.2m.

About this lot

Surplus from a hotel fit-out. Tapered edge for taping. 50% off merchant price. Located in Cardiff — collection or arranged regional delivery available. Direct from Cardiff Urban Reclamation, a demolition operating out of Cardiff; live for 12 days.

This is exactly the kind of material that typically ends up in a skip costing the seller money; buying it diverts it back into a build. It is graded down on appearance alone; structurally and functionally it performs as A-grade.

Carbon & sustainability notes

This listing carries no CO₂-saved figure because the material is new; the sustainability win here is waste prevention — first-quality stock staying out of the waste stream entirely.

With Part Z and embodied-carbon reporting moving up the agenda, documented reuse like this is increasingly worth recording in your project's carbon log.

  • Nationwide pallet courier available — typically £75–£115 per pallet, 2–4 working days.
  • Viewings welcomed by appointment; the measurements table above reflects what was checked at listing.

Typical applications

  • Garage conversions and garden offices

  • Warm roof build-ups and rafter-level insulation

Questions about this lot

Do part-sheets affect building control sign-off?+

No — what matters is the declared lambda value and installed thickness. Keep a facing photo showing the print line for your Building Regs file.

How should boards be stored on site?+

Flat, dry and off the ground. PIR facings degrade with prolonged UV exposure, so keep the wrap on until the day of fixing.

Is mixed-brand insulation OK in one roof?+

Yes, provided each zone's U-value calc uses the correct lambda for the board actually installed there. This lot is single-brand across all 4 packs.
