About this lot

Surplus to a housing development. Recycled-slate composite with built-in interlock. Full guarantee transfer. Located in Bristol — collection or arranged regional delivery available. Listed 25 days ago by Bristol Reclaim Co., a demolition based in Bristol.

Every lot here was once destined for waste transfer — listing it instead keeps first-quality material in circulation at well below merchant list. As reclaimed stock it carries genuine history — the full condition report below states exactly what to expect.

Condition report & known defects

8/10
  • Ring-tested on lifting; ~12% rejected before listing — count stated is sound units only.

Carbon & sustainability notes

Reusing this material saves roughly 64 kg CO₂e versus quarrying or firing new roof coverings (natural slate ~13 kg CO₂e/m², concrete tile ~18 kg CO₂e/m²).

That's equivalent to about 378 km of average petrol-car driving, or what 3 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

  • Collection from the seller's Bristol 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

  • Vertical tile hanging and cladding
  • Re-roofing period properties with matching weathered coverings
  • Extensions where new tiles would jar against an existing roof
  • Conservation-area and listed-building work

Questions about this lot

How do I know reclaimed slates are sound?+

Bristol Reclaim Co. ring-tests on lifting — a sharp tap on a sound slate rings true, a dull thud means delamination. Spot-check your own sample on collection in Bristol.

How many spares should I order?+

Allow 6% over your measured roof area for cutting, breakage and future repairs — with reclaimed stock the future-repair argument is the strongest.

Can these be delivered to a scaffold?+

Delivery is kerbside by default; loading to scaffold height needs a hiab or telehandler agreed with the seller in advance.
