Salvo Ltd

The first Salvo directory of reclamation businesses was published in 1991 to enable people to find and buy architectural salvage and reclaimed building material. We chose the name 'salvo' because it alludes to 'salvage' and is memorable. This was swiftly followed in 1992 by a regular printed newsletter for dealers called 'SalvoNEWS' which had adverts of auctions, material for sale and wanted, upcoming demolitions, theft alerts (subscribed to by around 25% of UK police forces), and vibrant letters The Salvo Code is a world-leading reclamation assurance, symbolised by the crane logo – an ancient symbol of vigilance which flags trust to clients. The peer-reviewed community of businesses that meet high standards in responsibly sourced architectural salvage and reclaimed materials counts members like Retrouvius, The Architectural Forum, English Salvage, Trinity Marine, LASSCO Three Pigeons and many more… Today, Salvo is known for its unparalleled architectural salvage fairs and online marketplace – matching something reclaimed or recrafted with someone that wants to reuse it. On SalvoWEB.com you will find everything from original Crittall doors to stone walling to chandeliers. Long appreciated for its connection with history, reuse of salvage is increasingly considered crucial for its contribution to reducing carbon emissions. Driven by the shocking statistic that only 1% of building materials are reused, Salvo recently partnered in the major FCRBE project to encourage the construction industry to increase reuse of reclaimed building elements by 50% by 2032.
