Condition grade 7/10 (B-grade). Assessed by the seller at listing; figures below relate to this specific lot of 25 sheets.

About this lot

Brazilian WBP marine-grade plywood. Used for formwork, hoarding and structural cladding. CE marked. Located in Liverpool — collection or arranged regional delivery available. Listed 20 days ago by Liverpool Urban Reclamation, a demolition based in Liverpool.

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.

Condition report & known defects

7/10
  • Each unit inspected and photographed on request before dispatch.
  • Edge and corner damage on ~8% of sheets — full interior sheet area is clean and flat.

Carbon & sustainability notes

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.

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

Collection & delivery

  • Collection from the seller's Liverpool premises — 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.

Typical applications

  • Formwork, hoarding and site protection
  • Garden structures, raised beds and decking
  • Structural joists, rafters and studwork (graded stock)
  • Feature cladding, shelving and furniture (reclaimed boards)

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 Liverpool Urban Reclamation 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.
