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.
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.
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.
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.
