Things to check before you order

Engineering Class A or B?

Class A is the denser of the two and is usually chosen where strength or very low water absorption matters; Class B is the common choice below DPC and for manholes; a brick DPC course in a building needs Class A (DPC1). Your designer or building control may specify one.

Colour consistency

Order everything for one job at the same time so the bricks come from the same production run, then mix from three or four packs as you lay to blend any variation.

In England, building work is checked against the Approved Documents, for example Part A for structure and Part L for energy efficiency, through your council's building control team or a registered building control approver.

How delivery works in Ewell

Bricks come in strapped packs, usually on a pallet, and are lifted off by a lorry-mounted crane where the drop point allows. Ewell is inside our standard mainland delivery area.

• On busy streets in Ewell, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.
• Clear a level area for pallets, ideally on boards, so materials stay out of standing water.
• In summer Ewell gets around 16h 37m of daylight, but early deliveries still beat the traffic and give the longest working day.
