ReclaimedSold by Tyne Reclaim (Demolition) · Ref L0006
Condition grade 8/10 (Reclaimed). Assessed by the seller at listing; figures below relate to this specific lot of 3.5 tonnes.
Hand-dressed Northumberland sandstone blocks from a barn demolition near Hexham. Random sizes, ideal for feature walling, garden landscaping and conservation patchwork. Sold by the tonne — selection on site. Listed 12 days ago by Tyne Reclaim, a demolition based in Newcastle.
Every lot here was once destined for waste transfer — listing it instead keeps first-quality material in circulation at well below merchant list. As reclaimed stock it carries genuine history — the full condition report below states exactly what to expect.
Reusing this material saves roughly 720 kg CO₂e versus manufacturing a new fired clay brick (~0.5 kg CO₂e per brick, BRE Global data).
That's equivalent to about 4248 km of average petrol-car driving, or what 34 mature trees absorb in a year.
Reuse is the single fastest way to cut a build's embodied carbon — substitution beats offsetting every time.
Standard UK bricks lay at ~60/m² in a single skin with 10mm joints. This lot (3.5 tonnes) is best confirmed against your wall area plus a 8% cutting allowance.
Bricks that have survived decades outdoors in Newcastle 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 (Tyne Reclaim) will set aside sample units for inspection at the Newcastle yard before you commit to the full quantity.
