About this lot

Hand-dressed Caithness flagstones from a Leith mill demolition. Mixed sizes around 600–900mm wide. Stunning weathered tops, riven edges. Ideal for entrance halls, garden patios. Direct from Lothian Stone, a demolition operating out of Edinburgh; live for 18 days.

This is exactly the kind of material that typically ends up in a skip costing the seller money; buying it diverts it back into a build. It is sold as reclaimed: character included, surprises excluded — read the defect notes below before bidding your time.

Condition report & known defects

7/10
  • Surface weathering consistent with age — structurally sound throughout.

Carbon & sustainability notes

Reusing this material saves roughly 380 kg CO₂e versus firing and glazing new ceramic/porcelain tiles (~9–12 kg CO₂e per m²).

That's equivalent to about 2242 km of average petrol-car driving, or what 18 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 Edinburgh; car/van accessible, assistance with loading provided.
  • Regional pallet delivery can be arranged from £80 depending on postcode and lead time.
  • Inspection before purchase is encouraged — bring a tape and check sample units against the measurements above.

Typical applications

  • Bathrooms, kitchens and utility spaces
  • Period restoration (reclaimed quarry and encaustic stock)

Questions about this lot

Why is buying the full lot important with tiles?+

This is reclaimed stock — once the ≈ 12 m² here is gone there is no matching batch to re-order, so buy your full area plus spares in one purchase.

Is this suitable for underfloor heating?+

Porcelain, ceramic and most engineered boards listed here suit wet or electric UFH; check the thickness in the measurements table and keep floor temperature under the manufacturer's limit.

Can I view the actual tiles first?+

Yes — inspection at the seller's Edinburgh unit is encouraged, and the batch/shade code above will match what you collect.
