About this lot

Genuine Penrhyn Welsh slates, hand-sorted, holes still good. Perfect for matching repairs. Located in Newcastle — collection or arranged regional delivery available. Listed 13 days ago by Newcastle Reclaim Co., a demolition based in Newcastle.

Every lot here was once destined for waste transfer — listing it instead keeps first-quality material in circulation at well below merchant list. As reclaimed stock it carries genuine history — the full condition report below states exactly what to expect.

Condition report & known defects

8/10
  • Moss and lichen on weathered faces — most buyers leave it for instant character.

Carbon & sustainability notes

The 358 kg CO₂e figure on this listing is calculated against quarrying or firing new roof coverings (natural slate ~13 kg CO₂e/m², concrete tile ~18 kg CO₂e/m²).

Put another way — about 2112 km of driving emissions, or 17 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.

Collection & delivery

  • Collection from the seller's Newcastle premises — pallet truck on site; tail-lift vehicles recommended.
  • Seller can quote hiab or flatbed delivery within ~60 miles of Newcastle; from £40.
  • Ask the seller for close-up photos or a video walkround if you can't visit — they expect the request.

Typical applications

  • Re-roofing period properties with matching weathered coverings
  • Extensions where new tiles would jar against an existing roof
  • Conservation-area and listed-building work
  • Outbuildings, garden rooms and porches

Questions about this lot

How do I know reclaimed slates are sound?+

Newcastle 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 Newcastle.

How many spares should I order?+

Allow 10% 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.
