Handmade Bricks
Our handmade dry pressed bricks combine traditional craftsmanship with modern requirements. Each brick is individually crafted using locally sourced clays and wood-fired kilns, creating unique colour variations and textures. This artisanal approach ensures superior quality and character that mass-produced bricks cannot replicate, making them ideal for heritage projects and contemporary developments requiring distinctive materials.
Custom Brick Shapes
We specialise in creating bespoke brick shapes that other manufacturers cannot produce. Our capabilities include bullnose, cant, squints, radius bricks, and arch bricks. Using traditional hand-cutting techniques, we deliver precision-engineered solutions for complex architectural designs while maintaining the aesthetic integrity of handcrafted materials.
Brick Matching
Our brick matching service ensures perfect replication of existing bricks for restoration projects. We analyse original materials to recreate identical shapes, colours, and textures using traditional methods. This expertise enables seamless integration with heritage facades while maintaining compliance with modern building standards and performance requirements.
Clay Pavers
Our 55mm thick clay pavers combine durability with aesthetic appeal. Produced using traditional wood-fired techniques, they feature unique textures and colours derived from local Manning Valley clays. The pavers incorporate a silicone treatment for water repellency and moss resistance, making them suitable for high-traffic commercial applications and residential outdoor spaces.
Environmental Solutions
We implement environmentally responsible production methods using 100% waste fuel from local sources. Our kilns operate on reclaimed timber and waste oil, reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 67% since 2010. We also recycle rejected bricks into new production batches, minimising waste while maintaining product quality and consistency.

Truly a great example of how a business should be run from start to finish. Micheal & Adele went above and beyond to ensure I received the best possible service and also excellent pricing for their top quality bricks. Thank you for all that you have done.
