Condition grade 9/10 (New surplus). 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 Sheffield — collection or arranged regional delivery available. Direct from Sheffield Greenfield Contractors, a contractor operating out of Sheffield; live for 14 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

Choosing this lot over new product avoids an estimated 109 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 643 km in a typical petrol car, or a year's absorption for 5 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 Sheffield; kerbside hand-load or forklift by arrangement.
  • Nationwide pallet courier available — typically £40–£65 per pallet, 2–4 working days.
  • Viewings welcomed by appointment; the measurements table above reflects what was checked at listing.

Typical applications

  • Conservation-area and listed-building work
  • Outbuildings, garden rooms and porches
  • Vertical tile hanging and cladding
  • Re-roofing period properties with matching weathered coverings

Questions about this lot

How do I know reclaimed slates are sound?+

Sheffield 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 Sheffield.

How many spares should I order?+

Allow 7% 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.
