What We Do
Our bricks begin as a carefully balanced blend of natural clays and water. From there, each brick goes through a proven process:
The clay mixture is shaped into bricks using precision equipment. However some of our bricks also still need human brick makers hands to help them through the factory creating different formats and textures, creating more bespoke and unique bricks. Bricks are slowly dried to remove excess moisture and prepare them for firing.They are fired in the kiln at extremely high temperatures to produce a strong, long-lasting product. Our team carefully hand blends and grades every brick to ensure colour, consistency and a high-quality finish. The result is a premium clay brick designed to stand the test of time. We supply bricks nationwide for:
Residential new builds
Renovations and extensions
Commercial developments
