About this lot

Hand-dressed sandstone blocks from a barn demolition. Random sizes for feature walling and landscaping. Located in Cardiff — collection or arranged regional delivery available. Direct from Cardiff Urban Reclamation, a demolition operating out of Cardiff; live for 24 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 graded down on appearance alone; structurally and functionally it performs as A-grade.

Condition report & known defects

6/10
  • Cosmetic seconds — graded down for appearance, not performance.
  • Allow a cutting/waste margin of ~10% over a normal A-grade order.

Carbon & sustainability notes

This listing carries no CO₂-saved figure because the material is new; the sustainability win here is waste prevention — first-quality stock staying out of the waste stream entirely.

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

Collection & delivery

  • Buyer collection in Cardiff; pallet truck on site; tail-lift vehicles recommended.
  • Regional pallet delivery can be arranged from £45 depending on postcode and lead time.
  • Inspection before purchase is encouraged — bring a tape and check sample units against the measurements above.

Typical applications

  • Facing work and matching extensions on period properties
  • Garden and boundary walls
  • Below-DPC and footings (engineering grades)
  • Conservation infill and patch repairs

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 Cardiff 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 (Cardiff Urban Reclamation) will set aside sample units for inspection at the Cardiff yard before you commit to the full quantity.
