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. This is unused, current-spec material — the only thing second-hand about it is the price tag logic.
Choosing this lot over new product avoids an estimated 112 kg CO₂e — benchmarked against manufacturing a new fired clay brick (~0.5 kg CO₂e per brick, BRE Global data).
For scale: roughly 661 km in a typical petrol car, or a year's absorption for 5 established trees.
With Part Z and embodied-carbon reporting moving up the agenda, documented reuse like this is increasingly worth recording in your project's carbon log.
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.
Bricks that have survived decades outdoors in Sheffield have effectively passed the longest freeze-thaw test there is. We still recommend F2-rated units for exposed copings and below-DPC work.
Yes — the seller (Sheffield Greenfield Contractors) will set aside sample units for inspection at the Sheffield yard before you commit to the full quantity.
