Reclaimed Bricks Job Lots in Edinburgh: 2026 Bulk Buyer's Guide
Job lots are the fastest way to move bricks volume in Edinburgh. This guide covers 2026 pallet pricing, typical minimum quantities from Scotland sellers, and how to inspect a bulk purchase before committing.
Typical Edinburgh job lot sizes
- Single pallet: bricks to fit an average domestic renovation
- Half-load (5–6 pallets): mid-size trade job
- Full-load (12–15 pallets): commercial fit-out or self-build
- Multi-load: developer-scale, 20+ pallets over staged deliveries
Edinburgh job-lot rate card
| Volume | Typical £ | Fits |
|---|---|---|
| 1 pallet | £480 per 1,000 | Small van, DIY |
| 5 pallets | £1,290 per 1,000 avg | Trade renovation |
| Full load | £480 per 1,000 bulk rate | Self-build / dev |
Job-lot inspection checklist
- Frog stamps, sand-struck faces and mortar on 3+ arrises confirm genuine reclaim
- Weathered patina blends into Victorian, Edwardian and heritage brickwork
- Fired hotter than most modern commons — strong frost resistance
Collection and delivery inside Edinburgh
Most Edinburgh sellers hold stock inside EH1, EH3 and EH10 and offer Central Belt next-day pallet £60–£95. For loads over a tonne of bricks, a hiab drop is usually more economical than multiple van runs.
