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