About this lot

Surplus from a hotel fit-out. Tapered edge for taping. 50% off merchant price. Located in Manchester — collection or arranged regional delivery available. Offered by Manchester Greenfield Contractors (contractor) from their Manchester yard, listed 2 days ago.

Site over-orders, cancelled jobs and careful strip-outs are where the best material bargains in the UK come from — this lot is one of them. This is unused, current-spec material — the only thing second-hand about it is the price tag logic.

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.

Reuse is the single fastest way to cut a build's embodied carbon — substitution beats offsetting every time.

  • Buyer collection in Manchester; telehandler on site, HGV access fine.
  • Regional pallet delivery can be arranged from £65 depending on postcode and lead time.
  • Inspection before purchase is encouraged — bring a tape and check sample units against the measurements above.

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 6 packs.
