About this lot

Surplus to a self-build that finished under-order. New, dry-stored, banded. Suitable for load-bearing inner leaves. Located in Sheffield — collection or arranged regional delivery available. Offered by Sheffield Greenfield Contractors (contractor) from their Sheffield yard, listed 6 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.

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 5% cutting allowance.

Are reclaimed bricks frost resistant?+

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.

Can I get a sample before buying?+

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