About this lot

Square-edged beams from a barn-conversion job. Excellent for exposed structural work, lintels and pergolas. Located in Liverpool — collection or arranged regional delivery available. Offered by Liverpool Urban Reclamation (demolition) from their Liverpool yard, listed 12 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. It is graded down on appearance alone; structurally and functionally it performs as A-grade.

Carbon & sustainability notes

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.

Questions about this lot

Is this timber structurally graded?+

Where the listing states a grade (C16/C24) the stamp is on the timber. Reclaimed boards from Liverpool Urban Reclamation are sold for non-structural use unless re-graded by an inspector.

Will reclaimed boards have nails in them?+

The seller has metal-detected the stock; expect the odd missed fixing — budget 1 saw blades for a lot this size and check with a detector before machining.

How should I store it before use?+

Keep it stick-stacked, off the ground and under cover, and let it acclimatise on site for 7–14 days before fixing internally.
