Picking the right product

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.

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).

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.

Getting bricks onto your Redruth site

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

• With roughly 8h 02m of daylight in Redruth around the shortest day, morning deliveries leave more working light for the job.
• Clear a level area for pallets, ideally on boards, so materials stay out of standing water.
• On busy streets in Redruth, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.
