Sold by Manchester Greenfield Contractors (Contractor) · Ref L0239

Condition grade 9/10 (New surplus). Assessed by the seller at listing; figures below relate to this specific lot of ~18 m².

About this lot

Genuine 6-inch terracotta quarry tiles, hand-cleaned, no chipping. Perfect for period restoration. Located in Manchester — collection or arranged regional delivery available. Direct from Manchester Greenfield Contractors, a contractor operating out of Manchester; live for 2 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. This is unused, current-spec material — the only thing second-hand about it is the price tag logic.

Condition report & known defects

9/10
  • Unused stock — original banding/packaging intact where stated.
  • Minor pallet-edge scuffs to outer packaging only.

Carbon & sustainability notes

Reusing this material saves roughly 51 kg CO₂e versus firing and glazing new ceramic/porcelain tiles (~9–12 kg CO₂e per m²).

That's equivalent to about 301 km of average petrol-car driving, or what 2 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 Manchester; telehandler on site, HGV access fine.
  • Regional pallet delivery can be arranged from £60 depending on postcode and lead time.
  • Inspection before purchase is encouraged — bring a tape and check sample units against the measurements above.

Typical applications

  • High-traffic hallways (porcelain and LVT)
  • Over underfloor heating (check listing spec)
  • Whole-room floors where one batch matters (no re-order risk if you buy the lot)
  • Bathrooms, kitchens and utility spaces

Questions about this lot

Why is buying the full lot important with tiles?+

This is new surplus stock — once the ~18 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 Manchester unit is encouraged, and the batch/shade code above will match what you collect.
