About this lot

Sealed bales of British sheep's wool. Breathable, low embodied carbon, no itch. Located in Liverpool — collection or arranged regional delivery available. Listed 12 days ago by Liverpool Urban Reclamation, a demolition based in Liverpool.

Every lot here was once destined for waste transfer — listing it instead keeps first-quality material in circulation at well below merchant list. B-grade pricing reflects cosmetics, not performance — the defect notes below set out exactly what was downgraded and why.

  • Each unit inspected and photographed on request before dispatch.
  • Facing scuffs and 2 dented edges per pack; thermal performance unaffected.

Carbon & sustainability notes

No reuse CO₂ credit is claimed on this lot: it is unused stock, so the embodied carbon was committed at manufacture. Buying it still prevents waste — material sent to landfill or energy recovery delivers none of its embodied value.

Reuse is the single fastest way to cut a build's embodied carbon — substitution beats offsetting every time.

Collection & delivery

  • Collection from the seller's Liverpool premises — 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

  • Acoustic upgrades between floors
  • Warm roof build-ups and rafter-level insulation
  • Floor insulation under screed or chipboard
  • Dot-and-dab and stud-wall drylining

Questions about this lot

Do part-sheets affect building control sign-off?+

No — what matters is the declared lambda value and installed thickness. Keep a facing photo showing the print line for your Building Regs file.

How should boards be stored on site?+

Flat, dry and off the ground. PIR facings degrade with prolonged UV exposure, so keep the wrap on until the day of fixing.

Is mixed-brand insulation OK in one roof?+

Yes, provided each zone's U-value calc uses the correct lambda for the board actually installed there. This lot is single-brand across all 7 packs.
