For outstanding reliability, unparalleled workmanship and high performance that meets any requirement, you have come to the right team. The Group’s timelessly authentic, warm, earthy, natural bricks give character to any build. We ensure that your development will command the character and charm that it deserves when using our products.
Clamp-fire Stock
Clamp firing is a traditional brick-making method, which is operated from our Freshfield Lane site in Danehill, Sussex. Our large open-sided sheds, each hold approximately 1.5 million bricks that are constructed by hand by an expert team of people in a distinctive pattern that allows them to fire correctly. When the structure is complete the bricks are ignited and allowed to burn naturally. Each clamp takes around 6 weeks to fire and cool.
Our bricks have a timelessly authentic, warm and earthy feel, enabling them to sit in harmony with varied architectural styles. This results in products that are high in demand with architects, self-builders and premium housebuilders. Clamp fired stock bricks have always been a long-lasting, sustainable building material, and you can rely on our bricks to stay beautiful long into the future.
