More and more people are embracing the eco-friendly culture of cutting waste and reusing materials. Ross Reclamation supports the trend by reclaiming building materials from both modern and period properties, ‘reclaiming the past to restore the future.’ The business ensures that materials stay out of landfill and have a prolonged period of usefulness.
Ross Reclamation is an independent dealership with more than 30 years’ experience specialising in architectural salvage. It has a treasure trove of materials including brick, stone, slate, tile, floorboards, flagstones and accessories from door knobs to garden ornaments.
The horde spans Georgian, Victorian, Edwardian and the 20th century periods. Customers range from people seeking the ‘just right’ feature for a DIY project to property developers sourcing ongoing supplies for restorations and new builds.
Visitors to the site could find anything from antique water troughs to window frames, fireplace surrounds to parquet flooring, railway sleepers to beams and joists. New stock is constantly being added and the company stocks reproduction materials as well as originals. Everything is handled sympathetically and a cleaning service is offered for pre-used bricks.
Business founder and owner Michael Meredith says: “People always find it interesting when they see all the quirky things we have displayed and we are always pleased to offer advice.”
Public viewing is 9am to 5pm on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays and 10am to 1pm on Saturday. Customers can also buy online.
