New surplusCondition grade 9/10 (New surplus). Assessed by the seller at listing; figures below relate to this specific lot of 480 tiles · 2 pallets.
Surplus to a housing development — new Redland Cambrian recycled-slate composite. 14×10 with built-in interlock. Half the weight of natural slate, full guarantee transfer. Offered by West Mids Roofing (contractor) from their Birmingham yard, listed 9 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.
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.
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.
West Mids Roofing 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 Birmingham.
Allow 5% over your measured roof area for cutting, breakage and future repairs — with reclaimed stock the future-repair argument is the strongest.
Delivery is kerbside by default; loading to scaffold height needs a hiab or telehandler agreed with the seller in advance.
