Condition report & known defects

8/10
  • Minor handling marks from salvage and palletising; nothing affecting use.
  • 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.

Carbon & sustainability notes

Choosing this lot over new product avoids an estimated 40 kg CO₂e — benchmarked against manufacturing a new fired clay brick (~0.5 kg CO₂e per brick, BRE Global data).

For scale: roughly 236 km in a typical petrol car, or a year's absorption for 2 established trees.

With Part Z and embodied-carbon reporting moving up the agenda, documented reuse like this is increasingly worth recording in your project's carbon log.

Collection & delivery

  • Collection from the seller's Newcastle premises — kerbside hand-load or forklift by arrangement.
  • Nationwide pallet courier available — typically £85–£125 per pallet, 2–4 working days.
  • Viewings welcomed by appointment; the measurements table above reflects what was checked at listing.

Typical applications

  • Below-DPC and footings (engineering grades)
  • Conservation infill and patch repairs
  • Feature interior exposed-brick walls
  • Facing work and matching extensions on period properties

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 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.
