Brick matching


Brickstressed

Recommended Posts

Have you tried a Brickmatching service if the local merchants draw a blank? 
Btw-are you sure of those measurements? 
Is it possible you measured a brick which has been cut? 
Standard sizes are given in Metric for modern bricks & you would expect 215mmx100x65 or thereabouts.

I think Leicester reds or seven valley reds ‘orange 

 

I would carefully drill out a few bricks from behind/under leadwork or in loft/garage 

 

totally more crucial is going to be getting the mortar colour perfect 

 

also consider adding a movement joint

Perhaps visit your local builders merchant.  Did you work out the cause of the crack?

 

I tried brick matching services, useless. Structural engineer said the cracking was from the gorilla who had poorly installed the bay window, It was too large for the opening, but still hammered into the opening.
