Common and Engineering

Every unit is specified for reliable performance on site and selected to meet relevant UK standards.

If you’re sourcing materials for your next project, our building materials provide all the supplies you need under one roof, including our range of bricks.

Where Each Brick Type Works Best

Engineering bricks are designed for strength and low water absorption, making them suitable above and below DPC where durability and frost resistance matter. Typical uses include retaining walls, manholes, foundations, and any area exposed to saturation or de-icing salts. 

Class A offers the highest strength and lowest absorption; Class B provides robust performance for many structural applications.

Concrete common bricks are a practical option for internal walls, backing, and general construction, with 65mm and 73mm formats to maintain coursing with existing masonry. Their consistent sizing supports quick laying and clean joint lines.
