Condition grade 7/10 (B-grade). Assessed by the seller at listing; figures below relate to this specific lot of 1,000 bricks.

About this lot

Surplus from a development. Brand new, banded on pallets. Suits damp courses, retaining walls and below-DPC work. Located in Leeds — collection or arranged regional delivery available. Listed 20 days ago by Leeds Urban Reclamation, a demolition based in Leeds.

Every lot here was once destined for waste transfer — listing it instead keeps first-quality material in circulation at well below merchant list. B-grade pricing reflects cosmetics, not performance — the defect notes below set out exactly what was downgraded and why.

Condition report & known defects

7/10
  • Each unit inspected and photographed on request before dispatch.
  • Colour banding varies between firing batches — blend from 2 packs when laying.

Carbon & sustainability notes

No reuse CO₂ credit is claimed on this lot: it is unused stock, so the embodied carbon was committed at manufacture. Buying it still prevents waste — material sent to landfill or energy recovery delivers none of its embodied value.

If your project tracks embodied carbon (BREEAM, Part Z readiness, or client ESG reporting), keep this listing reference as evidence of avoided emissions.

Collection & delivery

  • Collection from the seller's Leeds premises — pallet truck on site; tail-lift vehicles recommended.
  • Seller can quote hiab or flatbed delivery within ~60 miles of Leeds; from £90.
  • Ask the seller for close-up photos or a video walkround if you can't visit — they expect the request.

Typical applications

  • Facing work and matching extensions on period properties
  • Garden and boundary walls
  • Below-DPC and footings (engineering grades)
  • Conservation infill and patch repairs

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 8% cutting allowance.

Are reclaimed bricks frost resistant?+

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