End of lineCondition grade 9/10 (End of line). Assessed by the seller at listing; figures below relate to this specific lot of 1,200 blocks · 24 packs.
Discontinued line — Thermalite Shield 100mm. Brand new, unused, banded on pallets. Manufacturer no longer produces this thickness in this density. Suits low-rise infill and partition work. Direct from Bristol Stonemerchants, a merchant operating out of Bristol; live for 8 days.
This is exactly the kind of material that typically ends up in a skip costing the seller money; buying it diverts it back into a build. The range is discontinued: what is listed here is the entire available quantity.
This listing carries no CO₂-saved figure because the material is new; the sustainability win here is waste prevention — first-quality stock staying out of the waste stream entirely.
Reuse is the single fastest way to cut a build's embodied carbon — substitution beats offsetting every time.
The headline saving on this listing (waste avoidance) is benchmarked against manufacturing a new fired clay brick (~0.5 kg CO₂e per brick, BRE Global data). That's the embodied-carbon figure — the emissions locked into new material at the point of manufacture, before it ever reaches your site.
In UK building terms, embodied carbon typically accounts for 40–60% of a project's whole-life emissions once operational energy is decarbonised. Reusing masonry like this lot from Bristol bypasses the manufacturing stage entirely, which is why substitution consistently outperforms offsetting on lifecycle assessments.
For projects tracking against Part Z (the proposed embodied-carbon amendment to the Building Regulations), BREEAM Mat 01 credits, or the RIBA 2030 Climate Challenge, reused material counts at zero embodied carbon in the A1–A3 modules. Keep the seller invoice, this listing URL and the CO₂e figure together in your carbon file.
Beyond carbon: buying this lot from Bristol Stonemerchants keeps first-quality masonry out of the UK construction waste stream (currently ~62 million tonnes/year, per DEFRA). It supports the circular-economy supply chain — sellers who divert stock only continue diverting when there's a viable resale route.
Standard UK bricks lay at ~60/m² in a single skin with 10mm joints. This lot (1,200 blocks · 24 packs) is best confirmed against your wall area plus a 5% cutting allowance.
Bricks that have survived decades outdoors in Bristol have effectively passed the longest freeze-thaw test there is. We still recommend F2-rated units for exposed copings and below-DPC work.
Yes — the seller (Bristol Stonemerchants) will set aside sample units for inspection at the Bristol yard before you commit to the full quantity.
Bristol Stonemerchants issues a VAT invoice on collection or dispatch — bank transfer is standard, card on request. For anything over £500 we recommend a written spec confirmation before paying, so the exact masonry description and quantity are on record.
A short reservation (typically 48–72 hours) is usually possible with a 10% holding deposit. Surplus stock moves quickly, especially end of line lots at this price point — confirm the hold in writing so the seller doesn't re-list.
The material itself carries the same certifications as merchant stock; document the reuse route in your carbon log even without a specific CO₂e figure — waste avoidance still counts under Part Z reporting guidance.
