Bricks

With choices covering facing finishes, load-bearing requirements and ventilation needs, customers can source materials for all stages of brickwork from one merchant. Every order is backed by local expertise, crane offload delivery and straightforward online purchasing. 

Our Range of Facing, Engineering and Specialist Bricks

Our range includes facing bricks, brilliant for external walls where appearance and consistency are essential. They are widely used for extensions, new builds and feature walls, providing uniform size and texture for a professional finish.

For general structural work, common bricks are suitable for internal leaves, below-ground builds and projects where strength matters more than appearance. Their versatility makes them a frequent choice for groundwork preparation and internal blockwork.

If you require higher strength and low water absorption, our engineering bricks are a fantastic option that support load-bearing structures, retaining walls and damp-prone areas. They are selected for durability in demanding environments such as basements, manholes and foundations.

Complex detailing and precise junctions can be achieved with special shaped bricks, which are ideal when it comes to arches, sills, angles and bespoke architectural features. These help maintain performance and alignment without compromising design.

To support airflow and prevent moisture buildup, air bricks provide essential ventilation to underfloor voids and cavity spaces. They are often installed alongside replacement flooring, insulation upgrades or extensions where airflow must remain uninterrupted.

Customers navigating a wider brickwork project can explore our full bricks category for consistent stock availability, competitive value and materials suited to both trades and DIY customers.
