Contact sellerHow buying works

Condition grade 9/10 (New surplus). Assessed by the seller at listing; figures below relate to this specific lot of 180m drum.

About this lot

Part-used drum. Brand new, BASEC approved. Ideal for outbuilding sub-mains and EV charger installations. Located in Manchester — collection or arranged regional delivery available. Direct from Manchester Greenfield Contractors, a contractor operating out of Manchester; live for 18 days.

This is exactly the kind of material that typically ends up in a skip costing the seller money; buying it diverts it back into a build. This is unused, current-spec material — the only thing second-hand about it is the price tag logic.

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.

  • Regional pallet delivery can be arranged from £50 depending on postcode and lead time.
  • Inspection before purchase is encouraged — bring a tape and check sample units against the measurements above.

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 — Manchester Greenfield Contractors 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.
