Georgian & Tudor Style Bricks

Georgian and Tudor style bricks each represent distinct eras of British architectural history, with unique characteristics suited to their time.

Georgian-style bricks, used widely between 1714 and 1830, are known for their uniformity, smooth texture, and refined appearance. Typically pale red, buff, or brown in colour, they were often laid in neat Flemish bond patterns and used in elegant, symmetrical façades. Gault bricks and finely made handmade bricks are typical of this period, particularly in areas like London and East Anglia.

In contrast, Tudor-style bricks, dating from the late 15th to early 17th century, are much more rustic and irregular. Handmade and often fired in wood-fuelled clamps or kilns, these bricks display rich red and brown tones, with occasional dark, burnt edges. Their uneven shapes and creased textures add to their historical charm. Commonly used in chimney stacks, timber-framed buildings, and detailed brickwork, Tudor bricks bring a bold, traditional aesthetic to any project.

Both styles remain popular choices for period property restorations, conservation builds, or new homes designed to reflect Britain’s architectural heritage.

Reclamation Yard

A reclamation yard is a specialist supplier of salvaged building materials, architectural antiques, and reclaimed landscaping products. These yards recover high-quality items from demolished or renovated buildings—such as bricks, flagstones, roof tiles, timber, doors, and decorative stone—offering them a second life in new or restored projects.

Reclamation yards are essential for heritage restorations, conservation work, and character-driven new builds, where authentic materials are required to match existing structures. They also appeal to eco-conscious designers and builders looking to reduce environmental impact.

Whether you’re sourcing rare handmade bricks or traditional Yorkshire paving, a reclamation yard is a treasure trove of timeless, sustainable materials.

Sustainable Low Carbon Bricks

Sustainable low carbon bricks are an environmentally conscious alternative to traditional clay bricks, designed to reduce the carbon footprint of construction without compromising on performance. These bricks are often made using recycled materials, such as reclaimed clay, fly ash, or crushed concrete, and are manufactured using energy-efficient processes that significantly lower emissions.

Ideal for eco-friendly builds, extensions, and landscaping, low carbon bricks offer strength, durability, and aesthetic appeal while supporting sustainable construction practices. Whether you're aiming for BREEAM, Passivhaus, or simply building greener, these bricks are a responsible choice for the future of building. Sustainable, practical, and built to last.

What Is a Gault Bricks?

A Gault brick is a traditional type of clay brick made from Gault clay, a pale, chalky clay found primarily in the south and east of England—particularly in areas like Cambridgeshire and Suffolk.

These bricks are typically light in colour, ranging from buff and cream to pale yellow or grey, depending on the exact firing conditions and clay composition. Gault bricks are known for their smooth finish, fine texture, and uniform appearance, making them especially popular in Georgian and Victorian architecture.

They are often seen in historic towns and conservation areas, where their subtle tones complement classical façades. Today, Gault bricks remain a favoured choice for restoration work and new builds aiming to replicate elegant, period-style masonry.

Reclaimed York Handmade Clamp Bricks | Pack of 250 Bricks | Free Delivery - Reclaimed Brick Company

What Is a Clamp Bricks?

A clamp brick is a traditional handmade or machine-made brick fired using a method known as clamp firing—an old technique where bricks are stacked into a large mound or “clamp” and fired in situ using coal or other fuels. This process results in uneven firing temperatures, producing bricks with a wide variety of colours and textures, including rich reds, oranges, purples, and even sooty black markings.

Clamp bricks are valued for their rustic character, irregular tones, and natural weathering, making them a popular choice for cottage-style builds, period restorations, and projects seeking an authentic, timeworn appearance. Each brick is truly unique, reflecting the artisanal process used in its creation.

Reclaimed Handmade Brick FAQs

Reclaimed Handmade Bricks

What are reclaimed handmade bricks?

These are bricks made using traditional hand-moulding techniques and salvaged from historic buildings. Each one features unique textures, soft edges, and natural colour variation, perfect for adding character to new or restoration projects.

What can they be used for?

They’re ideal for period restorations, garden walls, feature fireplaces, or full-scale new builds that require a heritage look. Their aged finish helps them blend seamlessly with older structures.

Are they imperial-sized?

Yes, most reclaimed handmade bricks are imperial (typically around 73mm in height), making them perfect for matching pre-1970s buildings where modern metric bricks would look out of place.

How should I lay them?

Use a lime-based or heritage mortar, and dampen the bricks before laying to avoid premature drying. Slight size variation is normal, so mortar joints may need adjusting for a level finish.

Are they durable enough for new builds?

Yes. These bricks have already stood the test of time. When properly checked and laid, they’re as reliable and long-lasting as new bricks, with added visual charm.
