Getting the right bricks

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.

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.

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.

Quantities: a worked example

Take a garden wall in Runcorn 5 m long and 1.05 m high: 5.25 m². At 60 bricks per square metre plus 5% for cuts that is 331 bricks, roughly 1 pack of 500 depending on the maker, laid in about 0.31 tonnes of building sand and 3 bags of cement at a 1:4 mix. Try the brick calculator

How delivery works in Runcorn

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

• Deliveries are to the kerb, drive or within crane reach; ask if materials need to go further.
• With roughly 7h 30m of daylight in Runcorn around the shortest day, morning deliveries leave more working light for the job.
• Give us the full postcode for the drop point; deliveries around WA7 are priced to the exact address.
