About this lot

Genuine Penrhyn Welsh slates, hand-sorted, holes still good. Perfect for matching repairs. Located in Glasgow — collection or arranged regional delivery available. Offered by Glasgow Greenfield Contractors (contractor) from their Glasgow yard, listed 10 days ago.

Site over-orders, cancelled jobs and careful strip-outs are where the best material bargains in the UK come from — this lot is one of them. This is unused, current-spec material — the only thing second-hand about it is the price tag logic.

Condition report & known defects

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

Carbon & sustainability notes

Reusing this material saves roughly 109 kg CO₂e versus quarrying or firing new roof coverings (natural slate ~13 kg CO₂e/m², concrete tile ~18 kg CO₂e/m²).

That's equivalent to about 643 km of average petrol-car driving, or what 5 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 Glasgow; car/van accessible, assistance with loading provided.
  • 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

  • Vertical tile hanging and cladding
  • Re-roofing period properties with matching weathered coverings
  • Extensions where new tiles would jar against an existing roof
  • Conservation-area and listed-building work

Questions about this lot

How do I know reclaimed slates are sound?+

Glasgow Greenfield Contractors 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 Glasgow.

How many spares should I order?+

Allow 9% 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.
