Condition grade 10/10 (New surplus). Assessed by the seller at listing; figures below relate to this specific lot of 350 tiles.

About this lot

Removed in good condition from a 1990s extension being re-tiled. Suitable for full-roof or batch repairs. Located in Manchester — collection or arranged regional delivery available. Listed 18 days ago by Manchester Greenfield Contractors, a contractor based in Manchester.

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.

Condition report & known defects

10/10
  • Stored under cover since delivery; no weather exposure.
  • Crated as delivered from the manufacturer; one crate lid re-nailed after inspection.

Carbon & sustainability notes

Choosing this lot over new product avoids an estimated 68 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 401 km in a typical petrol car, or a year's absorption for 3 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 Manchester premises — pallet truck on site; tail-lift vehicles recommended.
  • Nationwide pallet courier available — typically £85–£125 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?+

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 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.
