About this lot

Genuine ironclad Accrington reds. Highly sought after for matching Victorian and Edwardian extensions across the North. Located in London — collection or arranged regional delivery available. Direct from London Reclaim Co., a demolition operating out of London; live for 5 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
  • A small number of half-bricks are included in the count free of charge.
  • Chipped arris on roughly 3 in 50 units; usable as cuts and closers.
  • Expect natural variation in tone and texture across the batch — this is the appeal of reclaimed stock.

Carbon & sustainability notes

Reusing this material saves roughly 360 kg CO₂e versus manufacturing a new fired clay brick (~0.5 kg CO₂e per brick, BRE Global data).

That's equivalent to about 2124 km of average petrol-car driving, or what 17 mature trees absorb in a year.

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

  • Buyer collection in London; forklift loading available weekdays 7:30am–4pm.

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