Bricks not matching samples?

Ok slightly confused now as you’re saying you don’t like them. Sadly, not a reason to return them and as everyone says, they will weather very quickly.

I don’t like them as they do not resemble the samples that led me to purchase them.

If they were representative I would like them.

Hopefully all sorted.

Been to Elliot’s where all of our remaining packs of bricks are currently stored.

They have gone through a few packs and mocked a wall up and they look much better.

Still not the same shades as expected but we both agreed we liked them.

Builder going to mock a wall up with muck just to make sure.

Deffo going to need to be mixing 3/4 packs at a time with these bricks

I think this will be by you or at extra cost.  The bricklayer will only want to touch them once.

That’s fine, rather spend more and get the finish I want

Glad you are sorted mate - they may well weather in to what you were expecting in the first place anyway.?

Cheers guys for all the pointers!

 

Up to DPC now and they are looking good.

Mortar still wet in the pictures.

Past DPC we are going to use a light grey mortar with V or raked out joint to show off the rough edges of the brick.
