Brick & block work
Bricks have been used in construction for hundreds of years. They're hard-wearing, affordable, easy to work with and have great thermal properties, and once laid properly, they're there for life.
Brick walls
There are many sizes and colours of brick on the market, so choose carefully. You want to be happy with your choice because it's going to be there a long time. We'll help you pick a brick that suits your home and garden.
Besser block walls
Besser blocks have become popular thanks to their fast installation and structural strength. More than double the size of a standard brick, once reinforced and core-filled with concrete they are extremely strong, which is why they're widely used in retaining walls and commercial projects.
Block isn't the best-looking wall on its own, so most people render and paint it for a smooth finish, or use it as the foundation for a feature wall clad in natural stone.

Bricks & Block Work FAQs
Are block retaining walls strong?
Yes. Reinforced, core-filled besser block walls are among the strongest retaining options and are commonly engineered for taller walls and commercial sites.
Can a block wall be clad in sandstone?
Absolutely. A block wall makes an ideal structural base for sandstone or other natural stone cladding, which is bonded and mechanically fixed where needed.
