Brickmaking was introduced to Britain by the Romans and later revived during the medieval period, becoming an important part of our architectural heritage. Bricks vary in colour, texture and size, reflecting local materials and manufacturing methods.
Carefully selected reclaimed bricks can help match existing brickwork on period properties or bring naturally weathered character to extensions, outbuildings and garden walls. For repairs and restoration, matching dimensions and choosing bricks with compatible properties helps preserve the building’s appearance and ensures they suit their intended use.
New bricks offer another option, including ranges with tumbled edges and weathered finishes designed to resemble reclaimed brickwork. They can be a more affordable choice, depending on the products being compared, while offering a traditional appearance for new projects.
In recent years there has been a surge in the popularity of new bricks which are manufactured to look weathered and are a cheaper alternative.
