About this lot

Original counterbalance weights and brass furniture. Glazing intact — ready for restoration. Located in Manchester — collection or arranged regional delivery available. Direct from Manchester Greenfield Contractors, a contractor operating out of Manchester; live for 22 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. This is unused, current-spec material — the only thing second-hand about it is the price tag logic.

Condition report & known defects

9/10
  • Unused stock — original banding/packaging intact where stated.
  • Minor pallet-edge scuffs to outer packaging only.

Carbon & sustainability notes

Reusing this material saves roughly 84 kg CO₂e versus manufacturing equivalent new joinery (a new timber door ~35 kg CO₂e; a uPVC window ~60 kg CO₂e).

That's equivalent to about 496 km of average petrol-car driving, or what 4 mature trees absorb in a year.

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

Collection & delivery

  • Buyer collection in Manchester; forklift loading available weekdays 7:30am–4pm.
  • Regional pallet delivery can be arranged from £45 depending on postcode and lead time.
  • Inspection before purchase is encouraged — bring a tape and check sample units against the measurements above.

Questions about this lot

Are the stated sizes the door leaf or the frame?+

Leaf sizes unless the listing says 'with frame'. Always measure your structural opening and allow for packers and tolerance before buying.

Can old doors be trimmed to fit?+

Solid timber doors trim comfortably by up to 11mm per edge. Engineered and fire doors have strict trim limits — check the certification label first.

Is the glazing safety glass?+

Modern units from Manchester Greenfield Contractors are toughened where regulations require. Original period glass is not safety glass — re-glaze below 800mm or in door zones.
