Condition report & known defects

7/10
  • 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

Reusing this material saves roughly 280 kg CO₂e versus felling, milling and kiln-drying virgin softwood (~0.45 kg CO₂e per kg of new timber).

That's equivalent to about 1652 km of average petrol-car driving, or what 13 mature trees absorb in a year.

Reuse is the single fastest way to cut a build's embodied carbon — substitution beats offsetting every time.

Collection & delivery

  • Buyer collection in London; pallet truck on site; tail-lift vehicles recommended.
  • Regional pallet delivery can be arranged from £70 depending on postcode and lead time.
  • Inspection before purchase is encouraged — bring a tape and check sample units against the measurements above.

Typical applications

  • Structural joists, rafters and studwork (graded stock)
  • Feature cladding, shelving and furniture (reclaimed boards)
  • Flooring, sarking and sheathing
  • Formwork, hoarding and site protection

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 London Reclaim Co. 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.
