Condition grade 7/10 (Reclaimed). Assessed by the seller at listing; figures below relate to this specific lot of 2.0 tonnes.

About this lot

Random sizes, hand-pitched faces, beautiful weathered patina. Perfect for new boundary walls in conservation areas. Located in Bristol — collection or arranged regional delivery available. Direct from Bristol Reclaim Co., a demolition operating out of Bristol; live for 13 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
  • Surface weathering consistent with age — structurally sound throughout.
  • Faces are weathered, not damaged — colour deepens when laid and pointed.
  • Approx. 5% of units carry residual lime mortar — soft, brushes off dry.

Carbon & sustainability notes

Choosing this lot over new product avoids an estimated 424 kg CO₂e — benchmarked against manufacturing a new fired clay brick (~0.5 kg CO₂e per brick, BRE Global data).

For scale: roughly 2502 km in a typical petrol car, or a year's absorption for 20 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.

Collection & delivery

  • Buyer collection in Bristol; kerbside hand-load or forklift by arrangement.
  • Nationwide pallet courier available — typically £35–£60 per pallet, 2–4 working days.
  • Viewings welcomed by appointment; the measurements table above reflects what was checked at listing.

Typical applications

  • Below-DPC and footings (engineering grades)
  • Conservation infill and patch repairs
  • Feature interior exposed-brick walls
  • Facing work and matching extensions on period properties

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 (2.0 tonnes) is best confirmed against your wall area plus a 5% cutting allowance.

Are reclaimed bricks frost resistant?+

Bricks that have survived decades outdoors in Bristol 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 (Bristol Reclaim Co.) will set aside sample units for inspection at the Bristol yard before you commit to the full quantity.
