Condition grade 7/10 (Reclaimed). Assessed by the seller at listing; figures below relate to this specific lot of ~200 tiles.

About this lot

Genuine Penrhyn Welsh slates, hand-sorted, holes still good. Perfect for matching repairs. Located in Bristol — collection or arranged regional delivery available. Direct from Bristol Reclaim Co., a demolition operating out of Bristol; live for 9 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

7/10
  • Nail holes present (re-holeable); around 3 in 30 have shallow delamination at the head, fine under the lap.

Carbon & sustainability notes

Choosing this lot over new product avoids an estimated 354 kg CO₂e — benchmarked against quarrying or firing new roof coverings (natural slate ~13 kg CO₂e/m², concrete tile ~18 kg CO₂e/m²).

For scale: roughly 2089 km in a typical petrol car, or a year's absorption for 17 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

  • Buyer collection in Bristol; forklift loading available weekdays 7:30am–4pm.
  • Nationwide pallet courier available — typically £45–£85 per pallet, 2–4 working days.
  • Viewings welcomed by appointment; the measurements table above reflects what was checked at listing.

Typical applications

  • Extensions where new tiles would jar against an existing roof
  • Conservation-area and listed-building work
  • Outbuildings, garden rooms and porches
  • Vertical tile hanging and cladding

Questions about this lot

How do I know reclaimed slates are sound?+

Bristol Reclaim Co. ring-tests on lifting — a sharp tap on a sound slate rings true, a dull thud means delamination. Spot-check your own sample on collection in Bristol.

How many spares should I order?+

Allow 11% over your measured roof area for cutting, breakage and future repairs — with reclaimed stock the future-repair argument is the strongest.

Can these be delivered to a scaffold?+

Delivery is kerbside by default; loading to scaffold height needs a hiab or telehandler agreed with the seller in advance.
