Using reclaimed building materials is eco-friendly – the Code for Sustainable
Homes rates reclaimed brick,
roof slates and
clay roof tiles as
A+ in environmental terms. So, using these types of materials can gain
your property a higher rating of sustainability.
Reclaimed building materials may save you money – often reclaimed
materials can be cheaper than brand new items.
Using reclaimed building materials can add character and or historical value –
maybe
you don’t want your property to look modern and brand new; reclaimed
building materials can provide character and distinctive style. If you are refurbishing or extending
an historical or period property then reclaimed building materials can
be used to match the style of the original building.
Reclaimed roof tiles
Reclaimed roof tiles often
work out cheaper than new tiles, and if they are of good quality they
should last for hundreds of years.

Reclaimed bricks
Bricks reclaimed from
buildings in the UK often have a wealth of features that will enhance a
new build project that is aiming for the weathered look.

Reclaimed roof slates
Slate roofs have performed
well for hundreds of years in the British climate, and a good-quality
slate roof will last for years.

Reclaimed paving stone
Reclaimed stone flags have been salvaged from old streets, gardens or
yards. They usually have more direct character than newly cut paving
stone, and are considerably cheaper.
