About this lot

Even patina, mortar removed. Match well with reclaimed plain and pantile roofs. Located in Sheffield — collection or arranged regional delivery available. Listed 22 days ago by Sheffield Greenfield Contractors, a contractor based in Sheffield.

Every lot here was once destined for waste transfer — listing it instead keeps first-quality material in circulation at well below merchant list. As new surplus it is indistinguishable from merchant stock except for the price.

Carbon & sustainability notes

Choosing this lot over new product avoids an estimated 26 kg CO₂e — benchmarked against quarrying or firing new roof coverings (natural slate ~13 kg CO₂e/m², concrete tile ~18 kg CO₂e/m²).

For scale: roughly 153 km in a typical petrol car, or a year's absorption for 1 established trees.

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

  • Collection from the seller's Sheffield premises — pallet truck on site; tail-lift vehicles recommended.
  • Nationwide pallet courier available — typically £90–£145 per pallet, 2–4 working days.
  • Viewings welcomed by appointment; the measurements table above reflects what was checked at listing.

Typical applications

  • Re-roofing period properties with matching weathered coverings
  • Extensions where new tiles would jar against an existing roof
  • Conservation-area and listed-building work
  • Outbuildings, garden rooms and porches

Questions about this lot

How do I know reclaimed slates are sound?+

Sheffield 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 Sheffield.

How many spares should I order?+

Allow 10% 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.
