A BRIEF, NOT A GUESS

Find the piece that fits.

Start with the space. We can work back to the material.

Architectural materials and workshop details from the SECOND FORM collection

01

Bring the practical details

Share dimensions, quantities, your location and the date you need the material. Photographs and drawings help explain the details that words miss.

Tell us what can change

Colour, patina and proportions vary with reclaimed materials. Knowing where you have flexibility makes the search more useful.

Plan for the second life

Allow for inspection, preparation and transport. Confirm final specifications with your installer before committing to a piece.

Where materials come from

Demolitions, yard clearances, civic refits and trade-held parcels. We record the building type whenever it can be verified, and we leave the record blank when it cannot.

Selection criteria

Sound structure, a useful dimension, and a surface that still has work left in it. We refuse material that cannot be installed safely or whose story cannot be described honestly.

Restoration and preparation

Dry cleaning, de-nailing, rust treatment and documented repairs. Original wear stays unless a specifier asks for a quieter face.

Sustainability

Reuse is the first environmental decision. Transport is batched, finishes are specified to the room, and surplus is offered back into the catalogue rather than discarded.

Provenance

Each lot carries origin, era, condition and installation notes. Treat the demo records as a template; replace them with verified project data before launch.

Bespoke sourcing

Send drawings, tolerances and the feeling of the room. We search beyond the public inventory for architects and developers who need a matched parcel.
