About this lot

Minor edge bumps and corner damage but full sheet area usable. Half the price of A-grade. Located in Newcastle — collection or arranged regional delivery available. Direct from Newcastle Reclaim Co., a demolition operating out of Newcastle; live for 25 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 sold as reclaimed: character included, surprises excluded — read the defect notes below before bidding your time.

Condition report & known defects

7/10
  • 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.
  • Surface weathering consistent with age — structurally sound throughout.

Carbon & sustainability notes

Reusing this material saves roughly 68 kg CO₂e versus felling, milling and kiln-drying virgin softwood (~0.45 kg CO₂e per kg of new timber).

That's equivalent to about 401 km of average petrol-car driving, or what 3 mature trees absorb in a year.

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

Collection & delivery

  • Buyer collection in Newcastle; kerbside hand-load or forklift by arrangement.
  • Regional pallet delivery can be arranged from £55 depending on postcode and lead time.
  • Inspection before purchase is encouraged — bring a tape and check sample units against the measurements above.

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 Newcastle 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.
