Condition report & known defects

7/10
  • Surface weathering consistent with age — structurally sound throughout.

Carbon & sustainability notes

Reusing this material saves roughly 60 kg CO₂e versus manufacturing new heating plant (a cast-iron radiator ~45 kg CO₂e; a boiler ~300 kg CO₂e).

That's equivalent to about 354 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

  • Buyer collection in London; pallet truck on site; tail-lift vehicles recommended.
  • 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

  • Full heating system installs at a discount
  • Period radiator restoration projects
  • Self-build and renovation first/second fix
  • Landlord boiler swaps (warranty stock)

How to buy, collect and install this lot

  1. 1Confirm your requirement against the measurements above — bring a tape and the Full kit figure when you visit London Reclaim Co. in London.
  2. 2Reserve the lot in writing with a deposit; get the batch/reference (L0598) and condition grade (7/10) on the receipt.
  3. 3Arrange transport: telehandler on site, HGV access fine. Confirm access at your delivery address (width, overhead clearance, forklift or hand-ball).
  4. 4On arrival, check the count against the Full kit stated and photograph any transit damage before signing the delivery note.
  5. 5Store correctly on site — for plumbing, that means dry, level and off the ground; keep original packaging on until the day of use where possible.
  6. 6Dry-lay or trial-fit a small sample first to confirm plumbing performs as expected in your specific application before committing the whole lot.
  7. 7Log the reuse for your project records: photograph the seller invoice, capture the ~60 kg CO₂e figure and save this listing URL in your embodied-carbon file.

Pre-purchase checklist

  • Measure twice — confirm Full kit covers your net requirement plus a 9% waste/cutting allowance.
  • View in person or request a video walkround from London Reclaim Co.; do not rely on the hero photograph alone.
  • Check condition against the 7/10 grade above — ask which specific defects apply to the units you'll actually receive.
  • Confirm the batch or shade reference (L0598) so what you inspect is what you collect.
  • Agree collection or delivery cost in writing — pallet, hiab, flatbed or hand-ball each price very differently.
  • Verify VAT position: is the £410/lot figure ex-VAT or inclusive? Trade sellers default to ex-VAT.
  • Ask about returns or replacements if the delivered quantity falls short — reputable demolitions stand behind the stated count.
  • Screenshot this listing (title, price, condition, CO₂ figure) as your negotiation baseline — surplus prices drift as lots age.
  • Check compatibility if you're matching existing material (brick blend, tile shade, timber section) with a physical sample first.
  • Book collection or delivery within your reservation window — reclaimed lots at this price rarely sit for long.

Price in context

  • At £410/lot, this lot sits roughly 37% below current UK merchant list for equivalent new material — the typical spread for reclaimed plumbing.
  • Delivered-to-door pricing (including pallet freight within ~74 miles of London) tends to add £60–£90 to the headline figure; collection stays as advertised.
  • Comparable reclaimed lots in the surplus plumbing & heating category have moved on SurplusBuilder within 4 days of listing — well-priced surplus doesn't linger.

Sustainability deep-dive

The headline saving on this listing (~60 kg CO₂e) is benchmarked against manufacturing new heating plant (a cast-iron radiator ~45 kg CO₂e; a boiler ~300 kg CO₂e). That's the embodied-carbon figure — the emissions locked into new material at the point of manufacture, before it ever reaches your site.

In UK building terms, embodied carbon typically accounts for 40–60% of a project's whole-life emissions once operational energy is decarbonised. Reusing plumbing like this lot from London bypasses the manufacturing stage entirely, which is why substitution consistently outperforms offsetting on lifecycle assessments.

For projects tracking against Part Z (the proposed embodied-carbon amendment to the Building Regulations), BREEAM Mat 01 credits, or the RIBA 2030 Climate Challenge, reused material counts at zero embodied carbon in the A1–A3 modules. Keep the seller invoice, this listing URL and the CO₂e figure together in your carbon file.

Beyond carbon: buying this lot from London Reclaim Co. keeps first-quality plumbing out of the UK construction waste stream (currently ~62 million tonnes/year, per DEFRA). It supports the circular-economy supply chain — sellers who divert stock only continue diverting when there's a viable resale route.

Questions about this lot

Is the boiler warranty valid if I buy surplus?+

Sealed, unregistered boilers can usually be registered by your Gas Safe installer at commissioning — confirm the serial with the manufacturer before purchase.

Have reclaimed radiators been pressure tested?+

Yes — London Reclaim Co. tests before listing; the bar rating and duration are in the measurements table for this exact lot.

Who should install this?+

Gas appliances must be installed by a Gas Safe registered engineer; unvented cylinders need a G3-qualified installer. Wet UFH and radiators can be fitted by a competent plumber.

What payment and paperwork should I expect from London Reclaim Co.?+

London Reclaim Co. issues a VAT invoice on collection or dispatch — bank transfer is standard, card on request. For anything over £250 we recommend a written spec confirmation before paying, so the exact plumbing description and quantity are on record.

Can I reserve this lot while I organise transport from London?+

A short reservation (typically 48–72 hours) is usually possible with a 10% holding deposit. Surplus stock moves quickly, especially reclaimed lots at this price point — confirm the hold in writing so the seller doesn't re-list.

Is this suitable for a Part L / Part Z reporting project?+

Yes — the ~60 kg CO₂e saving is calculable against the benchmark in the sustainability notes above; keep this listing URL as evidence for your embodied-carbon log.
