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 145 kg CO₂e — benchmarked against firing and glazing new ceramic/porcelain tiles (~9–12 kg CO₂e per m²).

For scale: roughly 856 km in a typical petrol car, or a year's absorption for 7 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 London premises — car/van accessible, assistance with loading provided.
  • Nationwide pallet courier available — typically £50–£90 per pallet, 2–4 working days.
  • Viewings welcomed by appointment; the measurements table above reflects what was checked at listing.

Typical applications

  • 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
  • Period restoration (reclaimed quarry and encaustic stock)

Questions about this lot

Why is buying the full lot important with tiles?+

This is reclaimed 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 London unit is encouraged, and the batch/shade code above will match what you collect.
