Bricks
Whether it’s a housing project or an industrial build, our selection of bricks covers all your needs.
Burnt Clay Bricks
Standard UK Brick Size – 215mm x 102.5mm x 65 mm (L x W x H)
We supply imported burnt clay bricks of British Standards: BS EN 771 / BS 3921 in bulk. Common clay bricks are the most widely used type of brick in UK housing and commercial construction. With medium-to-high compressive strength, they are also resistant to moisture, insects, and erosion.
Engineering Bricks
Designed around high strength, water resistance, and acid resistance, engineering bricks are purpose-built construction bricks. These bricks are ideal for non-visual use in construction projects, especially ones involving water such as groundworks and sewers projects. We import British Standard BS ISO 6707-1 bricks resistant to defined limits for water absorption and compression strength. Class A and Class B bricks are available, with Class A being the stronger of the two.
Refectory Bricks
Also known as fire bricks, refectory bricks are made from clay made at high temperatures. This process makes them resistant to fire, water, and heat temperature. These bricks are very commonly used in the construction of chimneys, furnaces, pizza ovens, and built-in barbecues.
Fly-Ash Bricks
Commonly used in low- to medium-sized buildings, fly ash bricks are a stronger alternative to conventional clay bricks. Most suitable for load-bearing external walls, they are often chosen for use in power plants, factories, warehouses, residential developments, and multi-storey or high-rise buildings.

Cement
Cement is a binding agent within constructions made from a mixture of limestone, sand, clay, and other components. This will be used within either mortar or concrete, produced by either inter-grinding or blending their constituents at the cement works. All our cement conforms primarily to the British standard BS EN 197-1 and (ASTM) C150.
Portland Cement
We supply bagged Portland cement, the most common type of cement used in modern buildings. Portland cement has many applications, including concrete, mortar, render, and pre-cast units like bricks, pipes, and tiles. What’s more, it’s durable, it sets quickly in wet conditions and needs very little maintenance. We supply both white and grey Portland cement, depending on your requirements.
Sulphate-Resistant Cement
We also supply a BS 4027 variant of cement that is highly resistant to sulphate formation attacks. This is especially useful in columns and building foundations in the vicinity of seawater and urban water systems. Sulphate resistance is assured and measured via ASTM C452 and ASTM C1012 testing.
White Cement
Also known as “Snowcrete”, this bright white Portland Cement variant is popular in architectural projects. Supplied in bags, this type of cement meets BS EN 197-1 standard and provides an attractive aesthetic with durable concrete, rendering, and mortar. Furthermore, the colour and finish can be altered by adding different coloured aggregates and pigments.
The drying time for white cement is very similar to standard Portland cement. The mix should be set in about 30 minutes to properly set in 10 hours. When white cement is used in concrete, average drying times apply. However, an ongoing process that usually reaches maximum strength after 25 days.
