Salvaged Building Materials
Reclaimed building materials to suit every project
We recently demolished Featherstone School near Wakefield in West Yorkshire. Once the work had been carried out, we were able to reclaim:
- 240,000 bricks
- 78,000 Rosemary roof tiles
- The majority of the roof timbers
- Timber pitch
- Pine flooring
- 60 tonnes of coal from an underground bunker

Reclaimed building materials are becoming more and more commonly used – thanks to a myriad of benefits – and Linbro is proud to be able to source a wide range of different types of salvage materials from the contracts that we undertake.
As demolition contractors, the Linbro team has unparalleled access to a wide range of reclaimed building materials, including:
- Timber (old-growth beams, joists & floorboards)
- Bricks & masonry (popular for building & landscaping)
- Structural steel
- Copper piping
- Aluminium
- Paving
- Cobbles
- Crushed concrete
- Doors, fireplaces, windows & other architectural features
- Roofing materials (slate & clay tiles etc)
How does it work?
Upon completion of a demolition project, we typically sell all reclaimed salvage materials to our preferred dealer, who has a large yard area where they’re able to store vast amounts of recovered goods.
We then put our clients in touch with them to discuss quotes for and onward purchases of specific items, covering all manner of construction projects.
What are the benefits of using salvage yard building materials?
Environmentally sustainable
Help support the environment and conserve natural resources by reusing materials. This helps reduce the amount of waste sent to landfill, while decreasing carbon emissions generated through new product manufacture.
High quality
Older reclaimed materials are often higher quality and more durable than modern products.
Ideal for historic restoration
Listed buildings and other historic sites have strict rules in place regarding restoration. Reclaimed materials are often the only choice for repairs or property extensions.
