Carbon & sustainability notes

The 88 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 519 km of driving emissions, or 4 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.

  • Seller can quote hiab or flatbed delivery within ~60 miles of Manchester; from £80.
  • 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 (500 bricks (1 pallet)) 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 (Manchester Greenfield Contractors) will set aside sample units for inspection at the Manchester yard before you commit to the full quantity.
