When it comes to the UK’s older properties, perfection is definitely in the imperfection. Their imperial handmade bricks are weathered, chipped and discoloured, their corners worn smooth by centuries with the passage of time; and that’s what makes them so special. Their marks and imperfections provide a little window into our country’s history and therefore any renovation or restoration should be carried out with the utmost respect and care.
Capturing regional variations
Some traditional bricks are so distinctive that you know instantly just from looking at them which area of the country they reside in. From the soft, uneven, honey coloured bricks of the Cotswolds to the bold, red, stocky bricks found in Manchester, there is a huge range of regional variations so achieving a perfect match in your renovation or restoration is not always easy.
All of our imperial handmade bricks are produced using time-honoured methods of production so we can achieve a truly authentic look no matter which part of the country you live in. At Heritage Bricks we pride ourselves on our attention to detail and ability to create that perfectly imperfect brick every time. Each and every one of our imperial handmade bricks is unique, just like the bricks of old, so you can rest assured that your little piece of history is in safe hands.
Imperial handmade bricks
To preserve and renovate an older property sympathetically size really does matter. Period properties were built in a time before the metric system which is why we provide an extensive collection of imperial handmade bricks. With such a wide range of bricks in traditional imperial sizes, you’ll certainly find the perfect match for your project.
Our team of experts have an excellent track record of working with architects, planners and designers on restoration and renovation projects across the UK and can provide any support you need.
Characterful new builds
In a world of soaring property prices, people are increasingly looking to extend their existing homes to achieve the extra space they need rather than move to a new house. But what do you do if you live in an older property?
There’s no doubt that when it comes to period properties, their bricks are not just of structural importance. They determine the entire look and feel not just of a that property but of the entire neighbourhood. They can create charm and character or send the neighbours knocking on the door of their local council, picket signs in hand, expressing their horror that an extension is not ‘in keeping’ with the local area.
With our wide range of imperial handmade bricks we’re sure to have the solution you need. Our experts can help you to find the right colour and texture to match your existing brickwork and preserve the heritage of your property.
