About this lot

Matching panel doors with original brass furniture intact. Heights 1980–2030mm. Each one a one-off. Located in Newcastle — collection or arranged regional delivery available. Listed 25 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
  • Minor handling marks from salvage and palletising; nothing affecting use.

Carbon & sustainability notes

Choosing this lot over new product avoids an estimated 228 kg CO₂e — benchmarked against manufacturing equivalent new joinery (a new timber door ~35 kg CO₂e; a uPVC window ~60 kg CO₂e).

For scale: roughly 1345 km in a typical petrol car, or a year's absorption for 11 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 — telehandler on site, HGV access fine.
  • Nationwide pallet courier available — typically £55–£110 per pallet, 2–4 working days.
  • Viewings welcomed by appointment; the measurements table above reflects what was checked at listing.

Typical applications

  • Feature stained-glass and fanlight restoration
  • Workshop, garage and outbuilding upgrades
  • Period renovation and like-for-like replacements
  • Whole-house internal door refits (matched sets)

How to buy, collect and install this lot

  1. 1Confirm your requirement against the measurements above — bring a tape and the 6 doors figure when you visit Newcastle Reclaim Co. in Newcastle.
  2. 2Reserve the lot in writing with a deposit; get the batch/reference (L0486) and condition grade (8/10) on the receipt.
  3. 3Arrange transport: forklift loading available weekdays 7:30am–4pm. Confirm access at your delivery address (width, overhead clearance, forklift or hand-ball).
  4. 4On arrival, check the count against the 6 doors stated and photograph any transit damage before signing the delivery note.
  5. 5Store correctly on site — for joinery, that means dry, level and off the ground; keep original packaging on until the day of use where possible.
  6. 6Dry-lay or trial-fit a small sample first to confirm joinery performs as expected in your specific application before committing the whole lot.
  7. 7Log the reuse for your project records: photograph the seller invoice, capture the ~228 kg CO₂e figure and save this listing URL in your embodied-carbon file.

Pre-purchase checklist

  • Measure twice — confirm 6 doors covers your net requirement plus a 10% waste/cutting allowance.
  • View in person or request a video walkround from Newcastle Reclaim Co.; do not rely on the hero photograph alone.
  • Check condition against the 8/10 grade above — ask which specific defects apply to the units you'll actually receive.
  • Confirm the batch or shade reference (L0486) so what you inspect is what you collect.
  • Agree collection or delivery cost in writing — pallet, hiab, flatbed or hand-ball each price very differently.
  • Verify VAT position: is the £610/lot figure ex-VAT or inclusive? Trade sellers default to ex-VAT.
  • Ask about returns or replacements if the delivered quantity falls short — reputable demolitions stand behind the stated count.
  • Screenshot this listing (title, price, condition, CO₂ figure) as your negotiation baseline — surplus prices drift as lots age.
  • Check compatibility if you're matching existing material (brick blend, tile shade, timber section) with a physical sample first.
  • Book collection or delivery within your reservation window — reclaimed lots at this price rarely sit for long.

Price in context

  • At £610/lot, this lot sits roughly 53% below current UK merchant list for equivalent new material — the typical spread for reclaimed joinery.
  • Delivered-to-door pricing (including pallet freight within ~57 miles of Newcastle) tends to add £55–£95 to the headline figure; collection stays as advertised.
  • Comparable reclaimed lots in the surplus doors & windows category have moved on SurplusBuilder within 4 days of listing — well-priced surplus doesn't linger.

Sustainability deep-dive

The headline saving on this listing (~228 kg CO₂e) is benchmarked against manufacturing equivalent new joinery (a new timber door ~35 kg CO₂e; a uPVC window ~60 kg CO₂e). 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 joinery like this lot from Newcastle 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 Newcastle Reclaim Co. keeps first-quality joinery 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.

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 Newcastle Reclaim Co. are toughened where regulations require. Original period glass is not safety glass — re-glaze below 800mm or in door zones.

What payment and paperwork should I expect from Newcastle Reclaim Co.?+

Newcastle Reclaim Co. 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 joinery description and quantity are on record.

Can I reserve this lot while I organise transport from Newcastle?+

A short reservation (typically 48–72 hours) is usually possible with a 10% holding deposit. Surplus stock moves quickly, especially reclaimed lots at this price point — confirm the hold in writing so the seller doesn't re-list.

Is this suitable for a Part L / Part Z reporting project?+

Yes — the ~228 kg CO₂e saving is calculable against the benchmark in the sustainability notes above; keep this listing URL as evidence for your embodied-carbon log.
