About this lot

Discontinued line — manufacturer no longer produces this thickness. Brand new, banded. Suits low-rise infill and partition work. Located in London — collection or arranged regional delivery available. Listed 21 days ago by London Reclaim Co., a demolition based in London.

Every lot here was once destined for waste transfer — listing it instead keeps first-quality material in circulation at well below merchant list. As reclaimed stock it carries genuine history — the full condition report below states exactly what to expect.

Condition report & known defects

8/10
  • Approx. 8% of units carry residual lime mortar — soft, brushes off dry.
  • Minor handling marks from salvage and palletising; nothing affecting use.
  • A small number of half-bricks are included in the count free of charge.
  • Chipped arris on roughly 2 in 50 units; usable as cuts and closers.

Carbon & sustainability notes

Reusing this material saves roughly 60 kg CO₂e versus manufacturing a new fired clay brick (~0.5 kg CO₂e per brick, BRE Global data).

That's equivalent to about 354 km of average petrol-car driving, or what 3 mature trees absorb in a year.

Reuse is the single fastest way to cut a build's embodied carbon — substitution beats offsetting every time.

Collection & delivery

  • Collection from the seller's London premises — pallet truck on site; tail-lift vehicles recommended.
  • Regional pallet delivery can be arranged from £55 depending on postcode and lead time.
  • Inspection before purchase is encouraged — bring a tape and check sample units against the measurements above.

Typical applications

  • Facing work and matching extensions on period properties
  • Garden and boundary walls
  • Below-DPC and footings (engineering grades)
  • Conservation infill and patch repairs

Questions about this lot

How many bricks do I need per square metre?+

Standard UK bricks lay at ~60/m² in a single skin with 10mm joints. This lot (1,200 blocks) is best confirmed against your wall area plus a 8% cutting allowance.

Are reclaimed bricks frost resistant?+

Bricks that have survived decades outdoors in London have effectively passed the longest freeze-thaw test there is. We still recommend F2-rated units for exposed copings and below-DPC work.

Can I get a sample before buying?+

Yes — the seller (London Reclaim Co.) will set aside sample units for inspection at the London yard before you commit to the full quantity.
