About this lot

Brand new combi, boxed and sealed. Cancelled installation. 60% off RRP. Located in Edinburgh — collection or arranged regional delivery available. Listed 19 days ago by Edinburgh Site Clearance Ltd, a demolition based in Edinburgh.

Every lot here was once destined for waste transfer — listing it instead keeps first-quality material in circulation at well below merchant list. End-of-line means first quality with no re-order — quantity certainty matters more than usual, so check coverage twice.

Condition report & known defects

10/10
  • No re-order possible: buy the full quantity you need from this lot.
  • Superseded model year — identical internals to current range, different fascia.

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.

If your project tracks embodied carbon (BREEAM, Part Z readiness, or client ESG reporting), keep this listing reference as evidence of avoided emissions.

Collection & delivery

  • Collection from the seller's Edinburgh premises — forklift loading available weekdays 7:30am–4pm.
  • Seller can quote hiab or flatbed delivery within ~60 miles of Edinburgh; from £55.
  • Ask the seller for close-up photos or a video walkround if you can't visit — they expect the request.

Typical applications

  • Period radiator restoration projects
  • Self-build and renovation first/second fix
  • Landlord boiler swaps (warranty stock)
  • Underfloor heating zones and extensions

How to buy, collect and install this lot

  1. 1Confirm your requirement against the measurements above — bring a tape and the 1 boiler figure when you visit Edinburgh Site Clearance Ltd in Edinburgh.
  2. 2Reserve the lot in writing with a deposit; get the batch/reference (L0592) and condition grade (10/10) on the receipt.
  3. 3Arrange transport: car/van accessible, assistance with loading provided. Confirm access at your delivery address (width, overhead clearance, forklift or hand-ball).
  4. 4On arrival, check the count against the 1 boiler 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 ~0 kg CO₂e figure and save this listing URL in your embodied-carbon file.

Pre-purchase checklist

  • Measure twice — confirm 1 boiler covers your net requirement plus a 6% waste/cutting allowance.
  • View in person or request a video walkround from Edinburgh Site Clearance Ltd; do not rely on the hero photograph alone.
  • Check condition against the 10/10 grade above — ask which specific defects apply to the units you'll actually receive.
  • Confirm the batch or shade reference (L0592) 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 £800/each 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 — end of line lots at this price rarely sit for long.

Price in context

  • At £800/each, this lot sits roughly 33% below current UK merchant list for equivalent new material — the typical spread for end of line plumbing.
  • Delivered-to-door pricing (including pallet freight within ~40 miles of Edinburgh) tends to add £55–£105 to the headline figure; collection stays as advertised.
  • Comparable end of line 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 (waste avoidance) 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 Edinburgh 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 Edinburgh Site Clearance Ltd 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 — Edinburgh Site Clearance Ltd 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 Edinburgh Site Clearance Ltd?+

Edinburgh Site Clearance Ltd issues a VAT invoice on collection or dispatch — bank transfer is standard, card on request. For anything over £500 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 Edinburgh?+

A short reservation (typically 48–72 hours) is usually possible with a 10% holding deposit. Surplus stock moves quickly, especially end of line 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?+

The material itself carries the same certifications as merchant stock; document the reuse route in your carbon log even without a specific CO₂e figure — waste avoidance still counts under Part Z reporting guidance.
