Condition grade 9/10 (New surplus). Assessed by the seller at listing; figures below relate to this specific lot of 500 bricks (1 pallet).

About this lot

Hand-cleaned reclaimed stock with weathered face. Mortar removed. Ideal for facing work, garden walls and conservation infill. Located in Glasgow — collection or arranged regional delivery available. Offered by Glasgow Greenfield Contractors (contractor) from their Glasgow yard, listed 6 days ago.

Site over-orders, cancelled jobs and careful strip-outs are where the best material bargains in the UK come from — this lot is one of them. This is unused, current-spec material — the only thing second-hand about it is the price tag logic.

Condition report & known defects

9/10
  • Minor pallet-edge scuffs to outer packaging only.
  • Unused stock — original banding/packaging intact where stated.

Carbon & sustainability notes

Reusing this material saves roughly 88 kg CO₂e versus manufacturing a new fired clay brick (~0.5 kg CO₂e per brick, BRE Global data).

That's equivalent to about 519 km of average petrol-car driving, or what 4 mature trees absorb in a year.

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

Collection & delivery

  • Buyer collection in Glasgow; car/van accessible, assistance with loading provided.
  • Regional pallet delivery can be arranged from £50 depending on postcode and lead time.
  • Inspection before purchase is encouraged — bring a tape and check sample units against the measurements above.

Typical applications

  • Feature interior exposed-brick walls
  • Facing work and matching extensions on period properties
  • Garden and boundary walls
  • Below-DPC and footings (engineering grades)

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 (500 bricks (1 pallet)) is best confirmed against your wall area plus a 5% 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.
