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.
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.
The headline saving on this listing (~180 kg CO₂e) is benchmarked against manufacturing new heating plant (a cast-iron radiator ~45 kg CO₂e; a boiler ~300 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 plumbing like this lot from Edinburgh 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 Edinburgh Iron Salvage keeps first-quality plumbing 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.
Sealed, unregistered boilers can usually be registered by your Gas Safe installer at commissioning — confirm the serial with the manufacturer before purchase.
Yes — Edinburgh Iron Salvage tests before listing; the bar rating and duration are in the measurements table for this exact lot.
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.
Edinburgh Iron Salvage 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 plumbing description and quantity are on record.
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.
Yes — the ~180 kg CO₂e saving is calculable against the benchmark in the sustainability notes above; keep this listing URL as evidence for your embodied-carbon log.
