Condition grade 9/10 (New surplus). Assessed by the seller at listing; figures below relate to this specific lot of 30 lengths · 47×175mm.

About this lot

Surplus C24 PEFC-certified structural timber from a timber-frame project. Kiln-dried, grade-stamped. Suitable for joists, rafters and load-bearing studwork. Direct from Manchester Frame Co., a contractor operating out of Manchester; live for 1 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

Reusing this material saves roughly 95 kg CO₂e versus felling, milling and kiln-drying virgin softwood (~0.45 kg CO₂e per kg of new timber).

That's equivalent to about 561 km of average petrol-car driving, or what 5 mature trees absorb in a year.

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

Collection & delivery

  • Buyer collection in Manchester; car/van accessible, assistance with loading provided.
  • Regional pallet delivery can be arranged from £40 depending on postcode and lead time.

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 Manchester Frame Co. 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.
