engineering bricks are a good DPC .......


But contrary to expectations, they are not frost-proof
when used above ground.

Mine have withstood 70 years as DPC. The back ofthe house gets wetted by
splashing of rain but has no sun over the winter, so it's frozen and thawed
quite often - or was, hardly at all nowadays.
It's a council-built house and the bricks are the blue ones - I suspect that
they're better than the modern ones.
