Genuine Handmade Facing Bricks
Introducing our new traditional handmade bricks, crafted using traditional hand-thrown mould-based brick-making methods that result in truly unique products packed with character. Our skilled brickmakers expertly reproduce authentic colours and textures reflective of the diverse regions of the UK, offering both metric and imperial brick sizes. These genuine handmade bricks are ideal for matching existing brickwork throughout the UK, providing an elegant solution for restoration and new build projects alike.
The process of creating these bricks involves carefully throwing wet clay into moulds lined with sand or water, which gives each brick its distinctive creasing pattern and irregular edges. Many of our handmade bricks feature a frog—a depression that allows for better adhesion when laid—though they can also be produced in a solid format. Known for their strength and durability, these bricks exhibit a characteristic finish and traditional look that adds a touch of authenticity to any structure.
Buildings constructed with handmade bricks boast an authentic, unique appearance that sets them apart from conventional machine-made options. The manufacturing process results in more open, rougher textures and a variety of colors, making them ideal for projects in conservation areas or for those looking to achieve a distinctive aesthetic. Whether you’re undertaking a historic restoration or a contemporary design, our handmade bricks provide the perfect blend of beauty, strength, and timeless charm. Available in 65mm Metric, 50mm Imperial, 68mm Imperial, 73mm Imperial and 40mm Linear Brick Sizes.
