Free: Double inflatable camping matress (Hillfields BS16) Gifted 2d - We have used it a bit, and it has some stains. It is pretty comfy and warm.

Free: toilet flush inlet mechanism (Hillfields BS16) Gifted 82d - An inlet valve for a toilet flush. The model is a Siamp Compact 99B. As far as I can tell the parts all seem to be there. The rubber washer looks a bit perished from age so it might be worth replacing that with a similar one.. but for anyone that needs one of these mechanisms, I imagine getting a small washer would still be easier and cheaper than having to get the whole mechanism. Measurements or other details available on request.

Free: braces / brackets + poles (Hillfields BS16) Gifted 82d - 5 sturdy braces/brackets, they were originally 'height reducers' for a fitted wardrobe but could be adapted for other uses. This includes several spare poles, including 3 longer ones which could be used to make them taller. Have a look at the photos. Measurements or other details on request.

Free: brand new brake pads (Hillfields BS16) Gifted 82d - Still sealed up in original packaging. The label says they fit certain Dacia, Sandero or Lada cars. See photo of label for details, or ask if you need to.

Free: garage (incl poss transport!) (Hillfields BS16) Expired 83d - (reposting as we are now happy to do the dismantling ourselves without help; it looks like it will be easier than we thought...) We need to get rid of our garage which is made of fairly thin concrete panels bolted together - it's a pretty simple system. Would anyone like some or all of the parts, either to reconstruct it elsewhere or to use the parts for your own project? Please read all the details below. The garage: * ..has an area roughly 2.85m x 5.05m. * ..has a height roughly 2m at the sides and 2.45m at the ridge. * ..has a big metal (up and over) door, a side wooden door, and a window. We can: * ...do the work of taking the garage down. If you want to be here for some of the process so that you know how it fits back together, just let us know. * ...help with transporting the materials to you (probably, depends how far away you are and how busy our driver is). If you want to reconstruct it you will need: * ...to sort out your own foundations. * ...to get hold of new roof panels, because the current ones contain asbestos so we plan to dispose of them. However, we can supply the metal roof structure that new panels would fix to. To copy the current roof you would need 16 panels, each 1.5m by 0.75m. It might be possible to manage with 14 panels. * ...to do the work of putting it back together; we aren't free to help with that (though we can give advice/info about how we took it down). We have already started taking it down and will be continuing to do so over the next week or so. If you cannot make use of the whole garage but can use some of the parts - eg just some of the wall panels, or the big garage door - let us know!

Free: white plastic gazebo (Hillfields BS16) Gifted 87d - A square white plastic gazebo found in an old shed, measures about 2.3m or 2.4m square. We only gave it a quick look over.

If you need us to check it over more thoroughly, let us know - or if you are willing to do the checking yourself, that would be helpful, and you are welcome to do that here if you want (we have enough room for you to try putting it up).

Free: Flymo mower for parts or repair (Hillfields BS16) Expired 87d - Broken Flymo lawnmower (turbo compact 300). Found in an old shed. Worked for first 5min then stopped. We have tested the fuse and it works, so sadly that is not the problem. Have also tried pressing the orange reset button on the handle, still doesn't work. Hoping it might be a quick fix for someone who knows what they are doing though.
