The kiln produced bricks are better but will cost more and the clay blocks may suffer some loss in colour. But the durability of them is really second to none.

Very pleased with all the work done. Stephen is knowledgable, experienced and polite. His team start early, finish late and work hard in between to get the job done in the time estimated. All waste was cleared and everywhere left clean and tidy. Good quality materials are used, so you may get a cheaper quote but you will get an inferior job! Highly recommended.
