Blocks

These products suit new builds, extensions, retaining walls, and load bearing applications where thermal performance and compressive strength matter. Browse our selection to compare specifications and find the right block type for your next job.

Our Selection of Blocks

Our aerated blocks provide thermal efficiency in cavity wall and internal partition applications, with lightweight handling that speeds up the installation process, but doesn’t compromise insulation values. 

Foundation trench blocks simplify below ground construction by replacing conventional strip footings, reducing excavation time and concrete volume on site. For structural work that needs higher density, our concrete blocks provide load bearing capacity in 100mm, 140mm, and 215mm widths to match your design requirements.

Coursing blocks bring brick courses to the correct height without cutting, maintaining bond patterns and saving labour during laying. Padstones distribute lintel loads across openings, protecting blockwork from point stress where steel or concrete beams sit. 

Each product in our blocks category meets current building regulations for compressive strength, fire resistance, and thermal performance, giving you confidence in structural integrity and compliance.

We stock blocks suitable for both rendered and fair faced finishes, so you can specify the appropriate surface texture for your cladding system. Our timber and joinery range complements structural masonry work when you need lintels, wall plates, or roof components. Ordering in pallet quantities keeps material costs down, and our crane offload service places heavy loads exactly where you need them on site.
