Screens flatten texture, alter tone and lose the depth that makes a blend work — and brick is bought on exactly those three qualities. Every regret we hear about in this trade starts with a decision made from a photograph. Tell us what you are considering and we will get samples to you — brought out with us, posted, or seen at our Middlesbrough yard by appointment. Put them beside your paint colours, worktop offcuts, flooring or the elevation you are matching and compare them properly. It is also the fastest way to get a straight answer. Send photographs and rough measurements of your wall and we can settle the brick, the likely setting-out and the next step, then follow up with a free quote. ### Who it is for Homeowners who have narrowed the choice online and now need to see the shortlist for real. - Anyone matching an extension to an existing house, where a screen is simply not good enough. - Builders, joiners and developers specifying brick for a client and needing a decision quickly. - Interior designers and architects choosing a blend against a wider material palette. ### When it is needed - Before ordering anything — especially on a full elevation, where the wrong blend is a permanent, public mistake. - When two or three blends look identical online and the decision has stalled. - When you need quantities, corner slips and a realistic next step confirmed properly. Why It Matters ## The Real Cost Of Choosing From A Photograph Brick is one of the few finishes you cannot quietly change your mind about. Once a wall or an elevation is clad and pointed, the choice is committed — so a blend that turns out warmer, greyer or flatter than expected is not a minor disappointment, it is the wall you look at every day. Photographs make that mistake easy. Product shots are lit to flatter, screens vary wildly, and the scale of a single brick on a webpage tells you nothing about how a blend behaves across a whole elevation with the sun on it. Samples posted out help, but a single brick out of context is still a poor guide to a multi-tonal blend. Seeing the full range together, in daylight, is the only reliable way to compare. ### Common mistakes we are called in to fix - Deciding on a blend from a product photograph without seeing a physical brick. - Judging a multi-tonal blend from one sample brick rather than several together. - Comparing bricks under artificial light only, when the room or elevation is seen in daylight. - Choosing without the paint, worktop or existing brickwork it has to live beside. - Leaving the brick choice until the trades are booked and there is no time left to change it. Our Process ## Five Steps From First LookTo Guaranteed Finish - 01 ### Step 1 — Get In Touch Ring or email with a rough idea of the project — interior wall, fireplace, kitchen or external elevation — and any photographs and measurements you have. - 02 ### Step 2 — Samples To You We get samples of the blends worth considering to you, so you can handle the bricks and see them in daylight rather than under a product photographer's lighting. - 03 ### Step 3 — Compare Against Your Own Materials Put them beside your paint, worktop or door offcuts, flooring, or the house you are matching. This is where near-identical blends separate out and the decision becomes obvious. - 04 ### Step 4 — Setting Out And Quantities Discussed With photographs and measurements in front of us we can talk through bond, joint colour, corner returns and how many corner slips your wall needs — before any money changes hands. - 05 ### Step 5 — Free Quote, Your Decision You get a clear next step and a free, no-obligation quote for supply, or supply and fit backed by our 25-year workmanship guarantee. What You Get ## The Difference A SpecialistMakes To The Finish ### Decide In Minutes, Not Weeks Physical comparison collapses a decision that can drag on for a fortnight online into an afternoon. ### No Nasty Surprises On Delivery What you chose is what arrives, because you already held it. ### The Full Range To Choose From London stocks, weathered yellows, antique blends, traditional reds and smooth greys — sampled side by side, the only fair way to compare them. ### Straight Advice, No Pressure 30 years in the trade behind the answers, whether you are having us fit it or buying the slips to fit yourself. ### Better Matching For Extensions Send a photograph of the elevation and compare weathered and antique blend samples against it rather than guessing from a screen. ### Free Quotes Either Way Supply only, or supply and fit with a 25-year workmanship guarantee. Quotes are free and carry no obligation. In Detail ## How Samples Work Everything you need to make the decision without a trip out. Individual product specifications — dimensions, coverage and frost rating — are confirmed for your chosen brick before you order. ### Where We Cover Samples go out across Teesside, Stockton-on-Tees, Darlington, Hartlepool and County Durham, and on to York, Harrogate, Newcastle and Sunderland. ### Seeing Them In Person If you would rather see the range at our Middlesbrough yard, that can be arranged by appointment — ring ahead and we will have the relevant part of the range to hand. ### What To Send Us Photographs of the wall or elevation, rough measurements, and the materials the brick has to live with: paint colours, worktop or door samples, flooring, or a photograph of the existing brickwork you are matching. ### What You Can Compare The full range of flat slips and corner slips across stocks, weathered yellows, antique and reclaimed-look blends, traditional reds and smooth greys — with the differences in texture and tone that photographs cannot convey. ### Samples Availability, cost and whether samples can be taken away or posted is confirmed case by case — Not Provided as a fixed policy here. Ask when you contact us. ### Advice You Can Act On Bond pattern, joint colour, corner returns, substrate suitability and quantities including wastage.
