What type of red bricks ?

[Tonymac01]

Anyone have any info on a red brick supplier in the Yorkshire area ??

Any info on sizes (imperial/metric) as I see there’s lots on eBay described as ‘reclaimed’ are these old bricks and potentially old sizes ? 
 

Any idea on what price to pay ? Is it per SqM or per brick, tonne etc 

 

thanks

Not sure what budget you have but perhaps try "Old Clamp" or "Hambleton" from..

Google also found this place offering new handmade soft red bricks in both metric and imperial but perhaps a bit too red rather than salmon colour?

Whatever you go for I would try and actually build a sample wall about 1m x 1m in a corner of your plot somewhere as bricks can look very different with mortar between them. It also useful to have as a quality reference. eg contract your brick layers to build your house as per as per the sample wall.

Good idea ??

If you want a reclaimed look, have a look at Hoskins Old Farmhouse blend (now produced by Vandersanden I believe). Not Yorkshire based, but easily available nationally, and look great (in my heavily biased -that's what I used- opinion)!
