Condition report & known defects

8/10
  • Minor handling marks from salvage and palletising; nothing affecting use.
  • Patina, paint flecks and saw marks are part of the reclaimed character.
  • Expect surface checks and shakes typical of seasoned timber; no active rot or insect attack found.
  • Expect natural variation in tone and texture across the batch — this is the appeal of reclaimed stock.

Carbon & sustainability notes

The 220 kg CO₂e figure on this listing is calculated against felling, milling and kiln-drying virgin softwood (~0.45 kg CO₂e per kg of new timber).

Put another way — about 1298 km of driving emissions, or 10 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 London premises — telehandler on site, HGV access fine.
  • Seller can quote hiab or flatbed delivery within ~60 miles of London; from £90.
  • Ask the seller for close-up photos or a video walkround if you can't visit — they expect the request.

Typical applications

  • Formwork, hoarding and site protection
  • Garden structures, raised beds and decking
  • Structural joists, rafters and studwork (graded stock)
  • Feature cladding, shelving and furniture (reclaimed boards)

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 East London Reclaim 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.
