New surplusCondition grade 10/10 (New surplus). Assessed by the seller at listing; figures below relate to this specific lot of 1 door + frame.
Brand new composite front door in anthracite grey with stainless furniture. Wrong colour for the customer — full warranty intact. Glazed half-light with privacy glass. Listed 6 days ago by SW Door Co., a merchant based in Bristol.
Every lot here was once destined for waste transfer — listing it instead keeps first-quality material in circulation at well below merchant list. As new surplus it is indistinguishable from merchant stock except for the price.
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 manufacturing equivalent new joinery (a new timber door ~35 kg CO₂e; a uPVC window ~60 kg CO₂e). 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 joinery like this lot from Bristol 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 SW Door Co. keeps first-quality joinery 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.
Leaf sizes unless the listing says 'with frame'. Always measure your structural opening and allow for packers and tolerance before buying.
Solid timber doors trim comfortably by up to 9mm per edge. Engineered and fire doors have strict trim limits — check the certification label first.
Modern units from SW Door Co. are toughened where regulations require. Original period glass is not safety glass — re-glaze below 800mm or in door zones.
SW Door Co. 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 joinery 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 new surplus 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.
