Getting bricks onto your Gwent site

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

• If the drop point is block paving or soft ground, say so; heavy pallets and bulk bags can mark or sink.
• Have someone on site for the delivery if you can, or agree a safe drop point with us in advance.
• Keep cement, plaster and boards dry: have a tarpaulin or a garage space ready before they arrive.

Before you order bricks

Is the wall exposed?

For walls that will get very wet and freeze, such as parapets, copings, below DPC or free-standing garden walls, use a clay brick declared F2 (freeze-thaw resistant) and S2 (low soluble salts).

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.

Wales has its own Approved Documents, including its own Part L for energy efficiency, and building control is handled by the local authority or a registered approver.
