    Around 22-23kg for standard density blocks.

    A standard block is 20Kg
    A cavity block 24Kg
    An aerated block is <5Kg

    Of course, there are different thicknesses available, the above relating to standard thicckness

    Sorry SAS! Mellor is closer to the mark.

    I calculated a band of blocks (44) was a tonne, but there are nearer 55 to a tonne which makes them just over 18kg.

    depends on how wet they are too funnily enough.

    my dad weighed some a while back (i have absolutely no idea why) 22.5 kilos they came in at

    It would vary depending on manufacturer,
    my figures above are from roadstone and quinn
    engineering blocks would also be heavier
