About this lot

Genuine Accrington Nori reds from a mill conversion in Burnley. Dense, ironclad, virtually frost-proof. Highly sought after for matching extensions on Victorian and Edwardian properties across Lancashire. Listed 3 days ago by Northern Salvage Co., a demolition based in Manchester.

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
  • Faces are weathered, not damaged — colour deepens when laid and pointed.
  • Approx. 16% 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.

Carbon & sustainability notes

The 540 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 3186 km of driving emissions, or 26 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

  • Collection from the seller's Manchester premises — forklift loading available weekdays 7:30am–4pm.
  • Seller can quote hiab or flatbed delivery within ~60 miles of Manchester; from £75.
  • Ask the seller for close-up photos or a video walkround if you can't visit — they expect the request.

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 (1,000 bricks · 2.2t) is best confirmed against your wall area plus a 8% cutting allowance.

Are reclaimed bricks frost resistant?+

Bricks that have survived decades outdoors in Manchester 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 (Northern Salvage Co.) will set aside sample units for inspection at the Manchester yard before you commit to the full quantity.
