  • Each unit inspected and photographed on request before dispatch.

Carbon & sustainability notes

No reuse CO₂ credit is claimed on this lot: it is unused stock, so the embodied carbon was committed at manufacture. Buying it still prevents waste — material sent to landfill or energy recovery delivers none of its embodied value.

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 Cardiff premises — kerbside hand-load or forklift by arrangement.
  • Seller can quote hiab or flatbed delivery within ~60 miles of Cardiff; from £35.
  • Ask the seller for close-up photos or a video walkround if you can't visit — they expect the request.

Typical applications

  • Flooring, sarking and sheathing
  • Formwork, hoarding and site protection
  • Garden structures, raised beds and decking
  • Structural joists, rafters and studwork (graded stock)

Questions about this lot

Is this timber structurally graded?+

Where the listing states a grade (C16/C24) the stamp is on the timber. Reclaimed boards from Cardiff Urban Reclamation are sold for non-structural use unless re-graded by an inspector.

Will reclaimed boards have nails in them?+

The seller has metal-detected the stock; expect the odd missed fixing — budget 1 saw blades for a lot this size and check with a detector before machining.

How should I store it before use?+

Keep it stick-stacked, off the ground and under cover, and let it acclimatise on site for 7–14 days before fixing internally.
