About this lot

Part-used drum. Brand new, BASEC approved. Ideal for outbuilding sub-mains and EV charger installations. Located in Liverpool — collection or arranged regional delivery available. Listed 24 days ago by Liverpool Urban Reclamation, a demolition based in Liverpool.

Every lot here was once destined for waste transfer — listing it instead keeps first-quality material in circulation at well below merchant list. B-grade pricing reflects cosmetics, not performance — the defect notes below set out exactly what was downgraded and why.

7/10
  • Each unit inspected and photographed on request before dispatch.
  • Box damage on 2 cartons; contents verified undamaged and re-taped.

Carbon & sustainability notes

No reuse CO₂ credit is claimed on this lot: it is unused stock, so the embodied carbon was committed at manufacture. Buying it still prevents waste — material sent to landfill or energy recovery delivers none of its embodied value.

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

  • Collection from the seller's Liverpool premises — telehandler on site, HGV access fine.
  • Nationwide pallet courier available — typically £70–£110 per pallet, 2–4 working days.
  • Viewings welcomed by appointment; the measurements table above reflects what was checked at listing.

Typical applications

  • Hospitality and retail feature lighting
  • Garden, outbuilding and security lighting
  • Full rewires and consumer unit upgrades
  • Commercial fit-outs (office panels, emergency lighting)

Questions about this lot

Can surplus electrical gear be used in a certified install?+

Yes — new surplus carries the same markings and standards as merchant stock. Your electrician certifies the installation, not the purchase route.

Is part-used cable drum length guaranteed?+

The stated length is measured, not estimated — Liverpool Urban Reclamation re-measures drums on listing with a ±1m tolerance.

Are the LED fittings covered by warranty?+

End-of-line stock typically retains the manufacturer's product warranty from date of purchase — keep the invoice as proof.
