Condition report & known defects

8/10
  • Moss and lichen on weathered faces — most buyers leave it for instant character.

Carbon & sustainability notes

The 199 kg CO₂e figure on this listing is calculated against quarrying or firing new roof coverings (natural slate ~13 kg CO₂e/m², concrete tile ~18 kg CO₂e/m²).

Put another way — about 1174 km of driving emissions, or 9 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 Bristol premises — pallet truck on site; tail-lift vehicles recommended.
  • Seller can quote hiab or flatbed delivery within ~60 miles of Bristol; from £80.
  • Ask the seller for close-up photos or a video walkround if you can't visit — they expect the request.

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?+

Bristol 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 Bristol.

How many spares should I order?+

Allow 12% 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.
