End of lineCondition grade 10/10 (End of line). Assessed by the seller at listing; figures below relate to this specific lot of 50 boards.
Genuine reclaimed scaffold boards with banded ends. Perfect for shelving, cladding, garden furniture and rustic decking. Located in Edinburgh — collection or arranged regional delivery available. Listed 15 days ago by Edinburgh Site Clearance Ltd, a demolition based in Edinburgh.
Every lot here was once destined for waste transfer — listing it instead keeps first-quality material in circulation at well below merchant list. End-of-line means first quality with no re-order — quantity certainty matters more than usual, so check coverage twice.
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.
Reuse is the single fastest way to cut a build's embodied carbon — substitution beats offsetting every time.
The headline saving on this listing (waste avoidance) is benchmarked against felling, milling and kiln-drying virgin softwood (~0.45 kg CO₂e per kg of new timber). That's the embodied-carbon figure — the emissions locked into new material at the point of manufacture, before it ever reaches your site.
In UK building terms, embodied carbon typically accounts for 40–60% of a project's whole-life emissions once operational energy is decarbonised. Reusing timber like this lot from Edinburgh bypasses the manufacturing stage entirely, which is why substitution consistently outperforms offsetting on lifecycle assessments.
For projects tracking against Part Z (the proposed embodied-carbon amendment to the Building Regulations), BREEAM Mat 01 credits, or the RIBA 2030 Climate Challenge, reused material counts at zero embodied carbon in the A1–A3 modules. Keep the seller invoice, this listing URL and the CO₂e figure together in your carbon file.
Beyond carbon: buying this lot from Edinburgh Site Clearance Ltd keeps first-quality timber out of the UK construction waste stream (currently ~62 million tonnes/year, per DEFRA). It supports the circular-economy supply chain — sellers who divert stock only continue diverting when there's a viable resale route.
Where the listing states a grade (C16/C24) the stamp is on the timber. Reclaimed boards from Edinburgh Site Clearance Ltd are sold for non-structural use unless re-graded by an inspector.
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.
Keep it stick-stacked, off the ground and under cover, and let it acclimatise on site for 7–14 days before fixing internally.
Edinburgh Site Clearance Ltd issues a VAT invoice on collection or dispatch — bank transfer is standard, card on request. For anything over £500 we recommend a written spec confirmation before paying, so the exact timber description and quantity are on record.
A short reservation (typically 48–72 hours) is usually possible with a 10% holding deposit. Surplus stock moves quickly, especially end of line lots at this price point — confirm the hold in writing so the seller doesn't re-list.
The material itself carries the same certifications as merchant stock; document the reuse route in your carbon log even without a specific CO₂e figure — waste avoidance still counts under Part Z reporting guidance.
