Condition report & known defects

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

Carbon & sustainability notes

Reusing this material saves roughly 180 kg CO₂e versus manufacturing equivalent new joinery (a new timber door ~35 kg CO₂e; a uPVC window ~60 kg CO₂e).

That's equivalent to about 1062 km of average petrol-car driving, or what 9 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; car/van accessible, assistance with loading provided.
  • Regional pallet delivery can be arranged from £60 depending on postcode and lead time.

Questions about this lot

Are the stated sizes the door leaf or the frame?+

Leaf sizes unless the listing says 'with frame'. Always measure your structural opening and allow for packers and tolerance before buying.

Can old doors be trimmed to fit?+

Solid timber doors trim comfortably by up to 8mm per edge. Engineered and fire doors have strict trim limits — check the certification label first.

Is the glazing safety glass?+

Modern units from Spitalfields Salvage are toughened where regulations require. Original period glass is not safety glass — re-glaze below 800mm or in door zones.
