About this lot

Genuine Penrhyn Welsh slates lifted from a chapel re-roof in Bangor. Hand-sorted, holes still good. 20×10 inch (Countess) — the most common UK size. Perfect for matching repairs. Listed 5 days ago by Penrhyn Slate Reclaim, a demolition based in Cardiff.

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
  • Minor handling marks from salvage and palletising; nothing affecting use.

Carbon & sustainability notes

Choosing this lot over new product avoids an estimated 310 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 1829 km in a typical petrol car, or a year's absorption for 15 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 Cardiff premises — car/van accessible, assistance with loading provided.
  • 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

  • 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?+

Penrhyn Slate Reclaim 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 Cardiff.

How many spares should I order?+

Allow 6% 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.
