About this lot

Genuine ironclad Accrington reds. Highly sought after for matching Victorian and Edwardian extensions across the North. Located in Glasgow — collection or arranged regional delivery available. Listed 10 days ago by Glasgow Greenfield Contractors, a contractor based in Glasgow.

Every lot here was once destined for waste transfer — listing it instead keeps first-quality material in circulation at well below merchant list. As new surplus it is indistinguishable from merchant stock except for the price.

Carbon & sustainability notes

The 112 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 661 km of driving emissions, or 5 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 Glasgow premises — forklift loading available weekdays 7:30am–4pm.
  • Seller can quote hiab or flatbed delivery within ~60 miles of Glasgow; from £70.
  • Ask the seller for close-up photos or a video walkround if you can't visit — they expect the request.

Typical applications

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 (600 bricks) is best confirmed against your wall area plus a 8% cutting allowance.

Are reclaimed bricks frost resistant?+

Bricks that have survived decades outdoors in Glasgow 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 (Glasgow Greenfield Contractors) will set aside sample units for inspection at the Glasgow yard before you commit to the full quantity.
