About this lot

Four matching 6-column cast iron radiators, each 1.2m long × 0.7m high. Stripped, pressure tested to 6 bar, ready for primer and topcoat. Perfect for restoration or modern industrial interiors. Direct from Edinburgh Iron Salvage, a demolition operating out of Edinburgh; live for 7 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

  • Expect natural variation in tone and texture across the batch — this is the appeal of reclaimed stock.

Carbon & sustainability notes

The 180 kg CO₂e figure on this listing is calculated against manufacturing new heating plant (a cast-iron radiator ~45 kg CO₂e; a boiler ~300 kg CO₂e).

Put another way — about 1062 km of driving emissions, or 9 tree-years of carbon uptake.

If your project tracks embodied carbon (BREEAM, Part Z readiness, or client ESG reporting), keep this listing reference as evidence of avoided emissions.

Collection & delivery

  • Buyer collection in Edinburgh; kerbside hand-load or forklift by arrangement.
  • Seller can quote hiab or flatbed delivery within ~30 miles of Edinburgh; from £60.
  • Ask the seller for close-up photos or a video walkround if you can't visit — they expect the request.

Typical applications

  • Landlord boiler swaps (warranty stock)
  • Underfloor heating zones and extensions
  • Full heating system installs at a discount

Questions about this lot

Is the boiler warranty valid if I buy surplus?+

Sealed, unregistered boilers can usually be registered by your Gas Safe installer at commissioning — confirm the serial with the manufacturer before purchase.

Have reclaimed radiators been pressure tested?+

Yes — Edinburgh Iron Salvage tests before listing; the bar rating and duration are in the measurements table for this exact lot.

Who should install this?+

Gas appliances must be installed by a Gas Safe registered engineer; unvented cylinders need a G3-qualified installer. Wet UFH and radiators can be fitted by a competent plumber.
