Condition report & known defects

8/10
  • Tappings and bushes checked for thread damage; PTFE-ready.

Carbon & sustainability notes

The 140 kg CO₂e figure on this listing is calculated against manufacturing new heating plant (a cast-iron radiator ~45 kg CO₂e; a boiler ~300 kg CO₂e).

Put another way — about 826 km of driving emissions, or 7 tree-years of carbon uptake.

If your project tracks embodied carbon (BREEAM, Part Z readiness, or client ESG reporting), keep this listing reference as evidence of avoided emissions.

Collection & delivery

  • Collection from the seller's Liverpool premises — pallet truck on site; tail-lift vehicles recommended.
  • Seller can quote hiab or flatbed delivery within ~60 miles of Liverpool; from £85.
  • Ask the seller for close-up photos or a video walkround if you can't visit — they expect the request.

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 — Mersey Salvage Plumbing 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.
