About this lot

Surplus to a housing development. Recycled-slate composite with built-in interlock. Full guarantee transfer. Located in Sheffield — collection or arranged regional delivery available. Offered by Sheffield Greenfield Contractors (contractor) from their Sheffield yard, listed 2 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

This listing carries no CO₂-saved figure because the material is new; the sustainability win here is waste prevention — first-quality stock staying out of the waste stream entirely.

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

Collection & delivery

  • Buyer collection in Sheffield; pallet truck on site; tail-lift vehicles recommended.
  • Regional pallet delivery can be arranged from £65 depending on postcode and lead time.
  • Inspection before purchase is encouraged — bring a tape and check sample units against the measurements above.

Typical applications

  • Re-roofing period properties with matching weathered coverings
  • Extensions where new tiles would jar against an existing roof
  • Conservation-area and listed-building work
  • Outbuildings, garden rooms and porches

Questions about this lot

How do I know reclaimed slates are sound?+

Sheffield Greenfield Contractors 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 Sheffield.

How many spares should I order?+

Allow 5% 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.
