We were presented with the challenge of finding a brick that pleased both the discerning client and the local conservation officer.
The natural tendency in these situations would be to use reclaimed bricks, but the prohibitive cost and unreliable supplies in the quantity needed made a metric choice a better option.
We put forward a traditional yellow stock made at a local brick works in North Kent. Not only did this satisfy the planning and conservation requirements, but saved the delighted client almost £10,000 on his build cost.
We also assisted with the design and manufacture of the 25 purpose made structural brick arches, built in over every window.
