About this lot

Genuine reclaimed scaffold boards with banded ends. Perfect for shelving, cladding, garden furniture and rustic decking. Located in Newcastle — collection or arranged regional delivery available. Listed 17 days ago by Newcastle Reclaim Co., a demolition based in Newcastle.

Every lot here was once destined for waste transfer — listing it instead keeps first-quality material in circulation at well below merchant list. As reclaimed stock it carries genuine history — the full condition report below states exactly what to expect.

Condition report & known defects

8/10
  • Surface weathering consistent with age — structurally sound throughout.
  • Roughly 2 in 20 lengths have split ends — supplied over-length to cut clear.
  • Nail holes and fixings marks throughout — metal detected and pulled on 8% of boards.
  • Minor handling marks from salvage and palletising; nothing affecting use.

Carbon & sustainability notes

Choosing this lot over new product avoids an estimated 288 kg CO₂e — benchmarked against felling, milling and kiln-drying virgin softwood (~0.45 kg CO₂e per kg of new timber).

For scale: roughly 1699 km in a typical petrol car, or a year's absorption for 14 established trees.

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 Newcastle premises — kerbside hand-load or forklift by arrangement.
  • Nationwide pallet courier available — typically £75–£115 per pallet, 2–4 working days.
  • Viewings welcomed by appointment; the measurements table above reflects what was checked at listing.

Typical applications

  • Flooring, sarking and sheathing
  • Formwork, hoarding and site protection
  • Garden structures, raised beds and decking
  • Structural joists, rafters and studwork (graded stock)

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 Newcastle 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.
