About this lot

Even weathering, no frost damage. Perfect colour match for inter-war housing. Located in Cardiff — collection or arranged regional delivery available. Listed 20 days ago by Cardiff Urban Reclamation, a demolition based in Cardiff.

Every lot here was once destined for waste transfer — listing it instead keeps first-quality material in circulation at well below merchant list. B-grade pricing reflects cosmetics, not performance — the defect notes below set out exactly what was downgraded and why.

Condition report & known defects

7/10
  • Each unit inspected and photographed on request before dispatch.
  • Colour variation between pallets — mix across pallets when loading out the roof.

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.

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 Cardiff premises — forklift loading available weekdays 7:30am–4pm.
  • Nationwide pallet courier available — typically £45–£100 per pallet, 2–4 working days.
  • Viewings welcomed by appointment; the measurements table above reflects what was checked at listing.

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?+

Cardiff Urban Reclamation 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 Cardiff.

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.
