RECLAIMED PRODUCTS GUIDE
WRAP (Waste Resources Action Programme) have commissioned a piece of work titled "Preparation of a guide to procuring reclaimed building products and materials for use in construction projects". BioRegional have been appointed to complete this piece of work. The Reclaimed Products Guide will be produced as a parallel document to the Guide to the Recycled Content of Mainstream Construction Products.
The Guide will contain product pages containing information on typical costs, availability, applications, issues/constraints etc as well as suppliers. It will cover approximately 40 reclaimed building products. The target audience is designers, architects and contractors.
Please get in touch if you supply reclaimed materials.

SALVO LONDON HELPLINE 020 7749 9948
Call the Salvo London Helpline on 020 7749 9948 to raise a theft alert for architectural or garden antiques stolen in London. The Salvo London Helpline is sponsored by LASSCO.
What is a theft alert? Each theft alert contains details of an incident of the theft of architectural and garden antiques which has been reported to the police. The theft alert is sent by email to hundreds of dealers, a quarter of UK police forces, specialist auctioneers, and security professionals in the UK and overseas. The theft alert is also placed on www.theft-alerts.com and is printed in SalvoNEWS.
Salvo theft alerts do not contain victims' names, addresses or phone numbers, nor identifiable images of people, nor names of police officers (although police ID numbers are used).
What items can be included on theft alerts? Any fixture or fitting from a house or garden, architectural antiques, bathrooms, bygones, carpets, church and churchyard fixtures, doors, flagstones, furniture, garden ornament, millstones, mirrors, roof tiles and slates, sculpture, statues, staddlestones, stained glass, tapestries, troughs, and war memorials.
What is the chance of a recovery? The recovery rate between 1995 - 2001 was 14 per cent. Since 2001 the recovery rate seems to have dropped (although Salvo has not kept statistics since 2001). This may be because items stolen are now harder to identify, e.g. flagstones, millstones, staddle stones, and mass-produced iron seats.
In November 2003 Salvo approached LASSCO to support the creation of our first city helpline for victims of architectural theft in the London area. LASSCO, the London Architectural Salvage & Supply Co Ltd, based in Shoreditch London, was established in 1979 and is one of the the best known architectural salvage business in the UK. Adrian Amos, founder of LASSCO, was on the trade steering committee from 1993 to 1995 which agreed to what eventually became the Salvo Code, and they were the first to join it in 1995.
Why have a helpline? Salvo receives very few theft alerts from London so we thought a telephone helpline could encourage more people to raise theft alerts. This may result in more recoveries, which may act as a deterrent to theft. Also Salvo theft alerts in London will now be free of charge, thanks to LASSCO. (Salvo theft alerts are free in other areas of the UK where the police subscribe.) Two weeks ago Scotland Yard was informed of the establishment of the helpline and the art and antiques squad immediately agreed to receive all Salvo Theft Alerts by email.
How will it work? Firstly, a London theft must be reported to the local police. After reporting the theft to the police the helpline number is telephoned and arrangements made to send details by email, post or fax to LASSCO. This can be done by the victim, by the police, or by someone who knows the victim, or a professional such as an insurer or solicitor. LASSCO will then raise a theft alert on the Salvo Theft Alert system, which will be emailed out to all Salvo subscribers (including other police forces, the Art Loss Register and Trace), will be printed in SalvoNEWS and will be sent to the Metropolitan Police Art and Antiques Squad for their information. The local police will also be informed so they know a theft alert has been raised.
The following information is needed to raise a theft alert:
- Date the item was last seen.
- The approximate location of the theft (eg W6 or Hammersmith)
- Description of the item, age, colour, material, repairs, alterations, and approximate size.
- Police station contact details and ID of responding officer or CID
- Police crime number or case number
Rewards may be offered, but only subject to conditions which require the goods to be returned and arrests made, unless permission is obtained from the Chief Constable to vary these conditions. Salvo and LASSCO will not take any part of any reward offered in the event of a recovery.
Recoveries take place when the police seize stolen items identified by a dealer or auctioneer, or at a trade fair, or seized on suspicion. Occasionally, if the goods are of high value, insurance companies handle the recovery. The Art Loss Register and Trace also handle recoveries. Salvo and LASSCO do not take part in recoveries. If items in a Salvo theft alert are recovered we ask the owner to inform Salvo or LASSCO so that the theft alert can be cancelled.

The link below is to a web page where it is possible for London victims to fill in a theft alert form online. This can be used by dealers, the police or anyone else on the victims behalf, provided all the information is known. This information will not appear immediately on the internet, but will be intercepted by LASSCO's staff who will raise a theft alert.
