Embodied carbon: Reclaimed Internal Doors in Nottingham vs new
Choosing surplus or reclaimed doors in Nottingham avoids the A1–A3 manufacturing emissions of newly produced stock. On a typical Nottingham project this equates to roughly 9–18 kgCO₂e per door — material evidence under Part Z, RICS WLCA and BREEAM Mat 06.
East Midlands local authorities increasingly request whole-life carbon evidence on planning submissions above 1,000 m². Keeping the yard invoice, batch photos and a provenance note against every doors purchase inside NG1, NG7 and NG9 builds an audit trail that stands up to WLCA review.
- A1–A3 avoided: ~9–18 kgCO₂e per door
- A4 (transport): actual mileage from the Nottingham yard to site
- A5 (installation): identical to new — labour and fixings unchanged
- Circularity indicator: 1.0 for reclaimed, 0.7–0.9 for surplus new
Expert tips from East Midlands trades
- Buy the whole pallet even if you only need 80% — you'll offload the rest on SurplusBuilder inside 14 days at 60–80% of what you paid.
- Book a Friday collection slot: Nottingham yards are quieter and forklift drivers have time, so you avoid the NG1, NG7 and NG9 weekday delivery crush.
- Ask for the yard's "just arrived" list — the best doors moves before it hits public listings.
- Photograph everything on the vehicle before you leave — protects both parties if a defect surfaces on unloading.
VAT, warranty and paperwork in Nottingham
Reclaimed materials from private sellers are typically zero-rated for VAT. Surplus stock from VAT-registered East Midlands merchants carries standard 20% VAT — confirm before agreeing a price. Factory-fresh surplus retains its original manufacturer warranty when unregistered and stored correctly; keep the batch label and any BBA certificate alongside the invoice.
- Get a VAT invoice for surplus buys over £250 — it's deductible for trade
- Retain BBA / BS EN test certificates with the delivery note
- Photograph batch numbers on doors packaging for retrofit and Part L evidence
- Log the Nottingham postcode of the source yard against the project record
