End of line Job lotCondition grade 10/10 (End of line). Assessed by the seller at listing; figures below relate to this specific lot of 3.0 tonnes.
Hand-dressed sandstone blocks from a barn demolition. Random sizes for feature walling and landscaping. Located in Edinburgh — collection or arranged regional delivery available. Fresh to market — posted 19 days ago by Edinburgh demolition Edinburgh Site Clearance Ltd.
Surplus stock like this exists because projects over-order to avoid downtime — the saving gets passed to you instead of the skip. End-of-line means first quality with no re-order — quantity certainty matters more than usual, so check coverage twice.
No reuse CO₂ credit is claimed on this lot: it is unused stock, so the embodied carbon was committed at manufacture. Buying it still prevents waste — material sent to landfill or energy recovery delivers none of its embodied value.
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.
The headline saving on this listing (waste avoidance) is benchmarked against manufacturing a new fired clay brick (~0.5 kg CO₂e per brick, BRE Global data). That's the embodied-carbon figure — the emissions locked into new material at the point of manufacture, before it ever reaches your site.
In UK building terms, embodied carbon typically accounts for 40–60% of a project's whole-life emissions once operational energy is decarbonised. Reusing masonry like this lot from Edinburgh bypasses the manufacturing stage entirely, which is why substitution consistently outperforms offsetting on lifecycle assessments.
For projects tracking against Part Z (the proposed embodied-carbon amendment to the Building Regulations), BREEAM Mat 01 credits, or the RIBA 2030 Climate Challenge, reused material counts at zero embodied carbon in the A1–A3 modules. Keep the seller invoice, this listing URL and the CO₂e figure together in your carbon file.
Beyond carbon: buying this lot from Edinburgh Site Clearance Ltd keeps first-quality masonry out of the UK construction waste stream (currently ~62 million tonnes/year, per DEFRA). It supports the circular-economy supply chain — sellers who divert stock only continue diverting when there's a viable resale route.
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 8% cutting allowance.
Bricks that have survived decades outdoors in Edinburgh 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 (Edinburgh Site Clearance Ltd) will set aside sample units for inspection at the Edinburgh yard before you commit to the full quantity.
Edinburgh Site Clearance Ltd issues a VAT invoice on collection or dispatch — bank transfer is standard, card on request. For anything over £500 we recommend a written spec confirmation before paying, so the exact masonry description and quantity are on record.
A short reservation (typically 48–72 hours) is usually possible with a 10% holding deposit. Surplus stock moves quickly, especially end of line lots at this price point — confirm the hold in writing so the seller doesn't re-list.
The material itself carries the same certifications as merchant stock; document the reuse route in your carbon log even without a specific CO₂e figure — waste avoidance still counts under Part Z reporting guidance.
