Handmade Texture
Our handmade brick texture offers bricks in ten blends, but we can also achieve a variation by mixing combinations of the basic colours. We are extremely flexible in our ability to produce bricks of any size, shape or finish to customers’ specifications.
TIMELESS HANDMADE TEXTURE BRICKS
This texture fills a niche for specifiers who want a brick with charm and character. This product is hugely popular with a loyal following of existing customers as well as new customers.
The handmade texture brick cuts above the competition because of the fantastic unique clay we have here which creates a stunning array of natural authentic traditional brick colours. The charm of this brick is characterised by the varied heavy creasing, and irregularity that arises to create a natural looking brick that catches the light to give the brick its distinct look.
The Handmade Texture creates brick work with charm and character, transforming a building from a basic structure, to a beautiful building.
These bricks are used for all types of buildings. It is particularly good for giving a building some prestige and authenticity of high quality in the best traditions of brickwork. Self-builders like this texture brick range to make sure their buildings don’t look too new and fits into its surrounding areas of traditional beauty, such as:
- Rural villages
- Heritage buildings
Heritage specifiers use these bricks to match the original bricks on a refurbishment project. Commercial specifiers will use this brick on quite contemporary designs, particularly where there is a need to bridge the divide from a new contemporary building to a more traditional building.

Be inspired - Dawson House
Dawson House was built by private developer, Benjamin Allen Construction. This was the first of 25 houses the have subsequently been built with our bricks. They used 15,000 of our 65mm Old Clamp Blend to maximise the appeal of this highly desirable house in Ditchling, Surrey. Old Clamp Blend is a popular choice maximising the variation of colours in the brick blend. One of the features of much-loved brickwork from bygone eras is where the firing method resulted in a wide array of colours as the temperatures varied considerably in different parts of an old-fashioned clamp fired kiln. The brick compliments the design features and other materials, including the traditional timber sash windows, cast iron guttering and traditional style roof tiles. The brick segmental arches add a touch of class to this beautifully designed house. The brickwork is complimented by a carefully chosen lime mortar with a slightly recessed joint helping bring out the true character of the brick. The use of brick in the landscaping helps to connect the style of the house to the garden so the two fit seamlessly together.
