Before you order 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.

Sizing your order

Take a garden wall in Whitstable 12 m long and 1.5 m high: 18 m². At 60 bricks per square metre plus 5% for cuts that is 1,134 bricks, roughly 3 packs of 500 depending on the maker, laid in about 1.06 tonnes of building sand and 10 bags of cement at a 1:4 mix. Try the brick calculator

Getting bricks onto your Whitstable site

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

• With roughly 7h 51m of daylight in Whitstable 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.
• Weight limits on bridges or private roads near the site matter for larger lorries, so mention any you know of.

Your questions answered

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.

Can you deliver bricks to a site with restricted access in Whitstable?

Usually, yes. Tell us about the access when you ask for a price and we will plan the vehicle and offload, or say if a smaller vehicle is needed.

How many bricks come in a pack?

It depends on the manufacturer and the brick. Packs of 400, 475 and 500 are common. We confirm the pack size with your price so you can order whole packs.

Can I add other materials to my Whitstable delivery?

Yes. Put everything on one list, from bricks to fixings and PPE, and we will price it as one delivery where the products can travel together.
