Condition report & known defects

7/10
  • Patina, paint flecks and saw marks are part of the reclaimed character.
  • Expect surface checks and shakes typical of seasoned timber; no active rot or insect attack found.
  • Expect natural variation in tone and texture across the batch — this is the appeal of reclaimed stock.

Carbon & sustainability notes

Choosing this lot over new product avoids an estimated 64 kg CO₂e — benchmarked against felling, milling and kiln-drying virgin softwood (~0.45 kg CO₂e per kg of new timber).

For scale: roughly 378 km in a typical petrol car, or a year's absorption for 3 established trees.

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.

Collection & delivery

  • Buyer collection in Bristol; kerbside hand-load or forklift by arrangement.
  • Nationwide pallet courier available — typically £95–£150 per pallet, 2–4 working days.
  • Viewings welcomed by appointment; the measurements table above reflects what was checked at listing.

Typical applications

  • Flooring, sarking and sheathing
  • Formwork, hoarding and site protection
  • Garden structures, raised beds and decking
  • Structural joists, rafters and studwork (graded stock)

Questions about this lot

Is this timber structurally graded?+

Where the listing states a grade (C16/C24) the stamp is on the timber. Reclaimed boards from Bristol Reclaim Co. are sold for non-structural use unless re-graded by an inspector.

Will reclaimed boards have nails in them?+

The seller has metal-detected the stock; expect the odd missed fixing — budget 1 saw blades for a lot this size and check with a detector before machining.

How should I store it before use?+

Keep it stick-stacked, off the ground and under cover, and let it acclimatise on site for 7–14 days before fixing internally.
