Condition report & known defects

8/10
  • A small number of half-bricks are included in the count free of charge.
  • Chipped arris on roughly 4 in 50 units; usable as cuts and closers.
  • Expect natural variation in tone and texture across the batch — this is the appeal of reclaimed stock.
  • Surface weathering consistent with age — structurally sound throughout.

Carbon & sustainability notes

The 40 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 236 km of driving emissions, or 2 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.

  • Seller can quote hiab or flatbed delivery within ~60 miles of Newcastle; from £80.
  • Ask the seller for close-up photos or a video walkround if you can't visit — they expect the request.

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 (400 blocks) is best confirmed against your wall area plus a 8% cutting allowance.

Are reclaimed bricks frost resistant?+

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.

Can I get a sample before buying?+

Yes — the seller (Newcastle Reclaim Co.) will set aside sample units for inspection at the Newcastle yard before you commit to the full quantity.
