Weekend Collection of Reclaimed Bricks in Derby: 2026 DIY Guide
Weekend DIYers and moonlighting trades in Derby often can't collect midweek. This 2026 guide covers East Midlands yards open Saturdays and Sundays plus SurplusBuilder listings that welcome weekend pickup.
Weekend-open yards in Derby
Most East Midlands reclamation yards trade Saturday morning; a smaller number open Sunday. Book collection slots in advance during peak DIY season (March–October).
Weekend logistics tips
- Book van hire on Friday for Saturday am collection
- Bring straps, sheets and a helper
- Pay by card on collection — most yards no longer take cash-only
- Check access: many DE1, DE22 and DE23 yards are unmanned Sundays
Pricing weekend collections
| Grade | Typical price | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Job-lot / bulk | £480 per 1,000 | Merchant clearance, palletised |
| Standard graded | £1,290 per 1,000 | Sorted, ready-to-fit stock |
| Heritage / premium | £2,100 per 1,000 | Character grade, hand-picked |
What to check before the drive
- 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
Frequently asked questions
+Are Derby yards open Sunday?
A minority — always ring ahead. Saturday morning coverage is much broader across East Midlands.

Usually not — but weekend van hire is more expensive.
+How many bricks per m² of wall?
~60 per m² for a single skin, 120 per m² for a full brick wall, allow 5% waste.
