Scrap value of copper boiler

[Ric.ror]

When I had the central heating put in the builder removed a small copper boiler used for the emersion heater. Also he said the back boiler was in the kitchen and removed that too
How much do you think he got scrap value?

Scrap value of copper is about £3000-4000 a tonne at the moment.

You should have told him you wanted to keep the old boiler, it was your property afterall.

Thank you for your promt replies
I doubt there was a ton of it
It was the smallest of boilers but even so at those prices I bet there was a nice little bit
He also removed all my grey slate tiles and replaced with other non slate tiles
Do you think he could have 'cashed' those in?

Ric--yes-buider would either sell them off or need them for another job

[Ric.ror]

I hate (and I mean hate) to say it but it's times like this you need a man
Thanks again

Slate tiles can be resold if they are in good condition, obviously how much they can be sold for depends on how many there are.

I don't think they were in all that good condition tbh

Ric-yup the builder has replaced your bangor blues with asbestos sltes-bangor blues are always wanted for either replacing broken ones on old buildings or to put on extensions of old buildings

Ric -did he lash them into a skip or place them in the back of his van/lorry

Scrap copper - you'd get around £5 a kilo at the scrapyard

[The Builder]

No builder should ever just assume he can keep these materials.
Not much weight in an immersion cylinder though.......... and the back boiler would have been cast iron with very little scrap value.
As my friend BJ the Bear says, slates are always in demand and can be re-holed and used. He should have split it with you.

Ok so why is the word asbestos ringing alarm bells

Thank you all for your answers
