Condition report & known defects

7/10
  • Surface weathering consistent with age — structurally sound throughout.

Carbon & sustainability notes

Reusing this material saves roughly 123 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 726 km of average petrol-car driving, or what 6 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 Newcastle; forklift loading available weekdays 7:30am–4pm.
  • Regional pallet delivery can be arranged from £85 depending on postcode and lead time.
  • Inspection before purchase is encouraged — bring a tape and check sample units against the measurements above.

Typical applications

  • Extensions where new tiles would jar against an existing roof
  • Conservation-area and listed-building work
  • Outbuildings, garden rooms and porches
  • Vertical tile hanging and cladding

Questions about this lot

How do I know reclaimed slates are sound?+

Newcastle Reclaim Co. 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 Newcastle.

How many spares should I order?+

Allow 11% 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.
