Condition report & known defects

7/10
  • Expect natural variation in tone and texture across the batch — this is the appeal of reclaimed stock.
  • Surface weathering consistent with age — structurally sound throughout.
  • Faces are weathered, not damaged — colour deepens when laid and pointed.

Carbon & sustainability notes

Reusing this material saves roughly 664 kg CO₂e versus manufacturing a new fired clay brick (~0.5 kg CO₂e per brick, BRE Global data).

That's equivalent to about 3918 km of average petrol-car driving, or what 32 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 Bristol; kerbside hand-load or forklift by arrangement.
  • Regional pallet delivery can be arranged from £85 depending on postcode and lead time.
  • Inspection before purchase is encouraged — bring a tape and check sample units against the measurements above.

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 (3.0 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.
