About this lot

Surplus from a development. Brand new, banded on pallets. Suits damp courses, retaining walls and below-DPC work. Located in Cardiff — collection or arranged regional delivery available. Offered by Cardiff Urban Reclamation (demolition) from their Cardiff yard, listed 28 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. It is graded down on appearance alone; structurally and functionally it performs as A-grade.

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 (1,000 bricks) is best confirmed against your wall area plus a 5% cutting allowance.

Are reclaimed bricks frost resistant?+

Bricks that have survived decades outdoors in Cardiff 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 (Cardiff Urban Reclamation) will set aside sample units for inspection at the Cardiff yard before you commit to the full quantity.
