New surplus Job lotSold by Sheffield Greenfield Contractors (Contractor) · Ref L0139
Condition grade 9/10 (New surplus). 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 Sheffield — collection or arranged regional delivery available. Offered by Sheffield Greenfield Contractors (contractor) from their Sheffield yard, listed 22 days ago.
Site over-orders, cancelled jobs and careful strip-outs are where the best material bargains in the UK come from — this lot is one of them. This is unused, current-spec material — the only thing second-hand about it is the price tag logic.
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.
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 Sheffield 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 (Sheffield Greenfield Contractors) will set aside sample units for inspection at the Sheffield yard before you commit to the full quantity.
