About this lot

Pallet of hand-cleaned London stock bricks salvaged from a Victorian terrace demolition in Hackney. Mortar removed, weathered face intact. Ideal for facing work, garden walls and conservation infill where character matters. Buyer collection — forklift on site. Direct from Hackney Salvage, a demolition operating out of London; live for 2 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. It is sold as reclaimed: character included, surprises excluded — read the defect notes below before bidding your time.

Condition report & known defects

7/10
  • Expect natural variation in tone and texture across the batch — this is the appeal of reclaimed stock.
  • Surface weathering consistent with age — structurally sound throughout.
  • Faces are weathered, not damaged — colour deepens when laid and pointed.

Carbon & sustainability notes

The 240 kg CO₂e figure on this listing is calculated against manufacturing a new fired clay brick (~0.5 kg CO₂e per brick, BRE Global data).

Put another way — about 1416 km of driving emissions, or 11 tree-years of carbon uptake.

If your project tracks embodied carbon (BREEAM, Part Z readiness, or client ESG reporting), keep this listing reference as evidence of avoided emissions.

Collection & delivery

  • Buyer collection in London; forklift loading available weekdays 7:30am–4pm.
  • Seller can quote hiab or flatbed delivery within ~30 miles of London; from £50.
  • Ask the seller for close-up photos or a video walkround if you can't visit — they expect the request.

  • Conservation infill and patch repairs
  • Feature interior exposed-brick walls

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 (~480 bricks · 1.05t) is best confirmed against your wall area plus a 5% 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 (Hackney Salvage) will set aside sample units for inspection at the London yard before you commit to the full quantity.
