B-grade Job lotCondition grade 7/10 (B-grade). Assessed by the seller at listing; figures below relate to this specific lot of 32 m² · 1 pallet.
First-quality tiles at clearance pricing. Buy enough for the whole room — no re-order available. Located in Cardiff — collection or arranged regional delivery available. Listed 24 days ago by Cardiff Urban Reclamation, a demolition based in Cardiff.
Every lot here was once destined for waste transfer — listing it instead keeps first-quality material in circulation at well below merchant list. B-grade pricing reflects cosmetics, not performance — the defect notes below set out exactly what was downgraded and why.
No reuse CO₂ credit is claimed on this lot: it is unused stock, so the embodied carbon was committed at manufacture. Buying it still prevents waste — material sent to landfill or energy recovery delivers none of its embodied value.
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.
The headline saving on this listing (waste avoidance) is benchmarked against firing and glazing new ceramic/porcelain tiles (~9–12 kg CO₂e per m²). That's the embodied-carbon figure — the emissions locked into new material at the point of manufacture, before it ever reaches your site.
In UK building terms, embodied carbon typically accounts for 40–60% of a project's whole-life emissions once operational energy is decarbonised. Reusing flooring like this lot from Cardiff bypasses the manufacturing stage entirely, which is why substitution consistently outperforms offsetting on lifecycle assessments.
For projects tracking against Part Z (the proposed embodied-carbon amendment to the Building Regulations), BREEAM Mat 01 credits, or the RIBA 2030 Climate Challenge, reused material counts at zero embodied carbon in the A1–A3 modules. Keep the seller invoice, this listing URL and the CO₂e figure together in your carbon file.
Beyond carbon: buying this lot from Cardiff Urban Reclamation keeps first-quality flooring out of the UK construction waste stream (currently ~62 million tonnes/year, per DEFRA). It supports the circular-economy supply chain — sellers who divert stock only continue diverting when there's a viable resale route.
This is b-grade stock — once the 32 m² · 1 pallet here is gone there is no matching batch to re-order, so buy your full area plus spares in one purchase.
Porcelain, ceramic and most engineered boards listed here suit wet or electric UFH; check the thickness in the measurements table and keep floor temperature under the manufacturer's limit.
Yes — inspection at the seller's Cardiff unit is encouraged, and the batch/shade code above will match what you collect.
Cardiff Urban Reclamation issues a VAT invoice on collection or dispatch — bank transfer is standard, card on request. For anything over £500 we recommend a written spec confirmation before paying, so the exact flooring description and quantity are on record.
A short reservation (typically 48–72 hours) is usually possible with a 10% holding deposit. Surplus stock moves quickly, especially b-grade lots at this price point — confirm the hold in writing so the seller doesn't re-list.
The material itself carries the same certifications as merchant stock; document the reuse route in your carbon log even without a specific CO₂e figure — waste avoidance still counts under Part Z reporting guidance.
