I would like to Extend my house in the next year or so and I would like
to find what sort of brick the house is built with so I can match the
new with the original (17 years old)brickwork. A couple of 'spares'
lying in the garden have 'WESTBRICK' stamped in the frog, but thats all
I have. What are my options to find the same or a good match.
Cheers All.


Take it to a decent builders merchant with pallets of brick in the
yard. If many houses local to you use the same brick the local
merchant will have some.

God help me, mine is a London Brick Co one. Basically means half of
every pallet is red rubble.
