Things to check before you order

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 the council's building standards service may specify one.

In Scotland most building work needs a building warrant from the local authority, assessed against the Building Standards Technical Handbooks.

How much will you need?

Take a garden wall in Wick 8 m long and 0.9 m high: 7.2 m². At 60 bricks per square metre plus 5% for cuts that is 454 bricks, roughly 1 pack of 500 depending on the maker, laid in about 0.43 tonnes of building sand and 4 bags of cement at a 1:4 mix. Try the brick calculator

Delivering bricks in Wick

Bricks come in strapped packs, usually on a pallet, and are lifted off by a lorry-mounted crane where the drop point allows. Wick is in an area where deliveries are priced individually because of the distance and access, so we quote each order separately.

• In summer Wick gets around 18h 19m of daylight, but early deliveries still beat the traffic and give the longest working day.
• Give us the full postcode for the drop point; deliveries around KW1 are priced to the exact address.
• On busy streets in Wick, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.

Do you deliver bricks to trades and homeowners in Wick?

Do you deliver bricks to Wick?

Yes. We deliver across Wick, including KW1. Wick is in an area where deliveries are priced individually because of the distance and access, so we quote each order separately. Send your list or call 0800 088 6341 and we will price it delivered to your postcode.

Which bricks go below the damp-proof course?

Below DPC you need bricks that cope with constant damp and frost: engineering bricks, or clay facings declared F2 and S2. Concrete bricks are another option for below-ground work.

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.
