About this lot

Surplus PEFC-certified structural timber. Kiln-dried, grade-stamped. Suitable for joists, rafters and load-bearing studwork. Located in Cardiff — collection or arranged regional delivery available. Direct from Cardiff Urban Reclamation, a demolition operating out of Cardiff; live for 4 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. It is graded down on appearance alone; structurally and functionally it performs as A-grade.

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