Delivery to Haywards Heath: what helps

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

  • Deliveries are to the kerb, drive or within crane reach; ask if materials need to go further.
  • For a phased build we can split the order so materials arrive as each stage starts, which keeps the site clear.
  • In summer Haywards Heath gets around 16h 33m of daylight, but early deliveries still beat the traffic and give the longest working day.

Quantities: a worked example

Take a garden wall in Haywards Heath 7 m long and 0.9 m high: 6.3 m². At 60 bricks per square metre plus 5% for cuts that is 397 bricks, roughly 1 pack of 500 depending on the maker, laid in about 0.37 tonnes of building sand and 4 bags of cement at a 1:4 mix. Try the brick calculator

Before you order bricks

Matching an existing house

Bring us the brick name if you know it, or a clear photo of a cleaned face in daylight with a tape measure for scale. Size matters as much as colour: older imperial bricks are often slightly larger than 65 mm.

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.

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.

Your questions answered

Do you deliver bricks to trades and homeowners in Haywards Heath?

Both. Trades can apply for a trade account; homeowners and self-builders can order on a delivered quote.

Do you sell bricks in small quantities?

We price whole packs as standard because that is how bricks leave the works. For small repairs ask anyway: we will tell you honestly whether part packs are possible for the brick you need.

Is there a minimum order for delivery to Haywards Heath?

There is no fixed minimum. For very small orders we will tell you honestly if the delivery cost outweighs the materials, so you can decide.

How much mortar do 1,000 bricks need?

Roughly half a cubic metre of mixed mortar, which is about 1 tonne of building sand and 8 to 9 bags of cement at a 1:4 mix. Our brick calculator works it out for your wall.
