Sold by Manchester Greenfield Contractors (Contractor) · Ref L0131

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 Manchester — collection or arranged regional delivery available. Direct from Manchester Greenfield Contractors, a contractor operating out of Manchester; live for 14 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.

Carbon & sustainability notes

The 217 kg CO₂e figure on this listing is calculated against manufacturing a new fired clay brick (~0.5 kg CO₂e per brick, BRE Global data).

Put another way — about 1280 km of driving emissions, or 10 tree-years of carbon uptake.

If your project tracks embodied carbon (BREEAM, Part Z readiness, or client ESG reporting), keep this listing reference as evidence of avoided emissions.

Collection & delivery

  • Buyer collection in Manchester; pallet truck on site; tail-lift vehicles recommended.
  • Seller can quote hiab or flatbed delivery within ~30 miles of Manchester; from £85.
  • Ask the seller for close-up photos or a video walkround if you can't visit — they expect the request.

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