About Bricks & Blocks

Facing bricks form the visible outer skin. Engineering bricks are dense and low-absorption, for use below DPC and anywhere strength matters. Concrete and aerated (lightweight) blocks build inner leaves and partitions. These are sold per unit, per pack or per square metre.

Common uses

  • External and internal walls
  • Below-DPC and retaining work (engineering)
  • Inner leaf and partitions (blocks)
  • Foundations and piers
  • Cavity walls

Frequently asked about Bricks & Blocks

How many bricks are there per square metre?

About 60 standard bricks per m² for a single-skin (half-brick) wall, including the mortar joint. Double that for a one-brick wall.

What is an engineering brick for?

A dense, high-strength brick with low water absorption, used below damp-proof course, for manholes, and anywhere strength and durability matter. Class A is stronger than Class B.

Should I use concrete or aerated blocks?

Dense concrete blocks give strength and sound resistance. Aerated (AAC) blocks are lightweight, easy to cut and more insulating, which suits inner leaves and partitions.
