Contact sellerHow buying works

Condition grade 6/10 (B-grade). Assessed by the seller at listing; figures below relate to this specific lot of 4 units.

About this lot

Stripped, pressure tested to 6 bar, ready for primer. Perfect for restoration or industrial interiors. Located in Cardiff — collection or arranged regional delivery available. Direct from Cardiff Urban Reclamation, a demolition operating out of Cardiff; live for 20 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 graded down on appearance alone; structurally and functionally it performs as A-grade.

Condition report & known defects

6/10
  • Cosmetic seconds — graded down for appearance, not performance.
  • Allow a cutting/waste margin of ~10% over a normal A-grade order.

Carbon & sustainability notes

This listing carries no CO₂-saved figure because the material is new; the sustainability win here is waste prevention — first-quality stock staying out of the waste stream entirely.

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 Cardiff; pallet truck on site; tail-lift vehicles recommended.
  • Nationwide pallet courier available — typically £50–£90 per pallet, 2–4 working days.
  • Viewings welcomed by appointment; the measurements table above reflects what was checked at listing.

Typical applications

  • Full heating system installs at a discount
  • Period radiator restoration projects
  • Self-build and renovation first/second fix
  • Landlord boiler swaps (warranty stock)

Questions about this lot

Is the boiler warranty valid if I buy surplus?+

Sealed, unregistered boilers can usually be registered by your Gas Safe installer at commissioning — confirm the serial with the manufacturer before purchase.

Have reclaimed radiators been pressure tested?+

Yes — Cardiff Urban Reclamation tests before listing; the bar rating and duration are in the measurements table for this exact lot.

Who should install this?+

Gas appliances must be installed by a Gas Safe registered engineer; unvented cylinders need a G3-qualified installer. Wet UFH and radiators can be fitted by a competent plumber.
