About this lot

Surplus PEFC-certified structural timber. Kiln-dried, grade-stamped. Suitable for joists, rafters and load-bearing studwork. Located in Glasgow — collection or arranged regional delivery available. Offered by Glasgow Greenfield Contractors (contractor) from their Glasgow yard, listed 26 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. This is unused, current-spec material — the only thing second-hand about it is the price tag logic.

Condition report & known defects

9/10
  • Minor pallet-edge scuffs to outer packaging only.
  • Unused stock — original banding/packaging intact where stated.

Carbon & sustainability notes

Choosing this lot over new product avoids an estimated 33 kg CO₂e — benchmarked against felling, milling and kiln-drying virgin softwood (~0.45 kg CO₂e per kg of new timber).

For scale: roughly 195 km in a typical petrol car, or a year's absorption for 2 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

  • Buyer collection in Glasgow; telehandler on site, HGV access fine.
  • Nationwide pallet courier available — typically £85–£110 per pallet, 2–4 working days.
  • Viewings welcomed by appointment; the measurements table above reflects what was checked at listing.

Typical applications

  • Formwork, hoarding and site protection
  • Garden structures, raised beds and decking
  • Structural joists, rafters and studwork (graded stock)
  • Feature cladding, shelving and furniture (reclaimed boards)

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 Glasgow Greenfield Contractors 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.
