About this lot

Even weathering, no frost damage. Perfect colour match for inter-war housing. Located in Glasgow — collection or arranged regional delivery available. Listed 14 days ago by Glasgow Greenfield Contractors, a contractor based in Glasgow.

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.

  • Crated as delivered from the manufacturer; one crate lid re-nailed after inspection.

Carbon & sustainability notes

The 168 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 991 km of driving emissions, or 8 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 Glasgow premises — car/van accessible, assistance with loading provided.
  • Seller can quote hiab or flatbed delivery within ~60 miles of Glasgow; from £40.
  • Ask the seller for close-up photos or a video walkround if you can't visit — they expect the request.

Typical applications

  • Vertical tile hanging and cladding
  • Re-roofing period properties with matching weathered coverings
  • Extensions where new tiles would jar against an existing roof
  • Conservation-area and listed-building work

Questions about this lot

How do I know reclaimed slates are sound?+

Glasgow 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 Glasgow.

How many spares should I order?+

Allow 6% 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.
