Contact sellerHow buying works

Condition grade 9/10 (New surplus). Assessed by the seller at listing; figures below relate to this specific lot of 3.0 tonnes.

About this lot

Hand-dressed sandstone blocks from a barn demolition. Random sizes for feature walling and landscaping. Located in Glasgow — collection or arranged regional delivery available. Direct from Glasgow Greenfield Contractors, a contractor operating out of Glasgow; live for 18 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. This is unused, current-spec material — the only thing second-hand about it is the price tag logic.

Condition report & known defects

9/10
  • Unused stock — original banding/packaging intact where stated.
  • Minor pallet-edge scuffs to outer packaging only.

Carbon & sustainability notes

Choosing this lot over new product avoids an estimated 217 kg CO₂e — benchmarked against manufacturing a new fired clay brick (~0.5 kg CO₂e per brick, BRE Global data).

For scale: roughly 1280 km in a typical petrol car, or a year's absorption for 10 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 Glasgow; forklift loading available weekdays 7:30am–4pm.
  • Nationwide pallet courier available — typically £85–£110 per pallet, 2–4 working days.
  • Viewings welcomed by appointment; the measurements table above reflects what was checked at listing.

Typical applications

  • Garden and boundary walls
  • Below-DPC and footings (engineering grades)
  • Conservation infill and patch repairs
  • Feature interior exposed-brick walls

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 Glasgow 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 (Glasgow Greenfield Contractors) will set aside sample units for inspection at the Glasgow yard before you commit to the full quantity.
