About this lot

Even patina, mortar removed. Match well with reclaimed plain and pantile roofs. Located in Manchester — collection or arranged regional delivery available. Offered by Manchester Greenfield Contractors (contractor) from their Manchester yard, listed 14 days ago.

Site over-orders, cancelled jobs and careful strip-outs are where the best material bargains in the UK come from — this lot is one of them. This is unused, current-spec material — the only thing second-hand about it is the price tag logic.

Condition report & known defects

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

Carbon & sustainability notes

Reusing this material saves roughly 26 kg CO₂e versus quarrying or firing new roof coverings (natural slate ~13 kg CO₂e/m², concrete tile ~18 kg CO₂e/m²).

That's equivalent to about 153 km of average petrol-car driving, or what 1 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; car/van accessible, assistance with loading provided.
  • Regional pallet delivery can be arranged from £40 depending on postcode and lead time.
  • Inspection before purchase is encouraged — bring a tape and check sample units against the measurements above.

Typical applications

  • Vertical tile hanging and cladding
  • Re-roofing period properties with matching weathered coverings
  • Extensions where new tiles would jar against an existing roof
  • Conservation-area and listed-building work

Questions about this lot

How do I know reclaimed slates are sound?+

Manchester Greenfield Contractors ring-tests on lifting — a sharp tap on a sound slate rings true, a dull thud means delamination. Spot-check your own sample on collection in Manchester.

How many spares should I order?+

Allow 5% over your measured roof area for cutting, breakage and future repairs — with reclaimed stock the future-repair argument is the strongest.

Can these be delivered to a scaffold?+

Delivery is kerbside by default; loading to scaffold height needs a hiab or telehandler agreed with the seller in advance.
