The London brick brand goes back over 130 years. Today there are 23 different bricks making up the London brick range.

Our range has a variety of colours and textures, from a classic red Rustic brick, symbolic of the housing boom in the second half of the 20th century, through to yellows and buffs, such as Saxon Gold and Honey Buff.

London Brick continues to be the first choice for the renovation, maintenance and improvements market. Builders and specifiers can be confident of the product’s ability to colour match existing dwellings and provide quality and reliability founded on over 100 years of brick making expertise.

For more information, samples, brick guides and matching guides for London brick contact us on 0330 1231017 or visit www.hanson.com/uk/bricks

Extending or renovating

When extending a property, it is often a planning requirement, that the brick used is a match for the brick on the original building. With over 5 million homes in the UK built out of London bricks, there’s a good chance that we have a brick match for you.

To ensure you make a correct match every time, we have produced a London brick matching guide. For your free copy contact us on 0330 1231017, or email bricks@hanson.com or visit www.hanson.com/uk/bricks

London technical information

Technical specification

London bricks have the distinctive ‘frog’ feature making them easier to cut and handle.

All London bricks are manufactured to comply withBS EN 771 – Part 1: Specification For Clay Masonry Units’ to a size of 215mm x 102.5mm x 65mm. Certain bricks are also available in 73mm.

All Hanson products aremanufactured under a qualityassurance system which conforms to BS EN ISO 9001:2008 and an Environmental Management System to ISO 14001:2004. Copies of our certificates are available to download from www.hanson.com/uk.

Special shapesWe do not recommend Londonbricks for use as copings, cappings or cills so Hanson has produced a complementary range of special shaped bricks.

Alternatively we maintain a select range of specials in smooth red and smooth blue. These are ideal for garden walls, conservatories and other design features to add the finishing touches and give added protection to the brickwork.

Detailing• Protect London free-standing walls, retaining walls, chimneys

and external pillars with an overhanging coping shedding water at least 45mm from the face of the brickwork. See P57 for further information.

• Protect the earth face of retaining walls with a continuous waterproof membrane. See P57 for further information.

• The use of sulphate resistant cement based mortars is strongly recommended where the bricks are used in a situation such as free standing, retaining and rendered walls.

• Painting directly on to walls constructed of London bricks is generally not recommended.

Professional tips for better brickworkMake your life easier with these simple tips which can save you time and money on your build.

Frost protection

Brick storageBricks should be stored on a level, free draining surface that is protected from the elements. Polythene wrapping provides protection from the weather, if this is removed for inspection it needs to be replaced or alternative protection needs to be provided.

Blending bricksBricks should be loaded-out from a minimum of 3 packs and it is advisable to draw from the packs in vertical rather than horizontal slices. Doing this helps avoid colour patchiness or banding in the brickwork.

Protection of newly built brickworkWhen work stops or is interrupted by inclement weather conditions, brickwork should be protected immediately with polythene sheeting that is held in place with a suitable fixing. If new brickwork is not protected; lime stains, efflorescence, patchy mortar colour and patchy brickwork can occur.

It should also be noted that the laying of brickwork should be discontinued when the temperature falls below 3°c and when frost is imminent.

Frost attack This can only occur where the quality of brick is inappropriate for a particular location, or when the brick becomes saturated and then subjected to repeated freeze thaw cycles.

It should be noted that despite a rigorous testing regime, nature can cause even F2 category bricks to fail in extreme circumstances, if good building practice is not followed.

The areas indicated in blue on the diagram of the house show where as a minimum, only F2 category products should be used.

Care should always be taken to observe relevant design details and current Codes of Practice.

56 57

Freestanding wallsFreestanding walls can be subjected to severe weather conditions. In order to avoid frost damage, careful consideration must be paid to the following aspects of design;

• Copings must be frost resistant such as those supplied by Hanson

• Copings with drip channels should be used to shed rain clear of the wall faces

• Copings should overhang the brickwork by at least 45mm

• Drip channels should have sharp edges and be free from mortar or other obstruction

• F1 bricks should not be used for cappings on freestanding walls.

Mortar joints are not impervious to moisture, this is resolved by using a continuous damp proof membrane immediately below the copings, projecting at least 13mm beyond the mortar.

A damp proof course (DPC) must be provided at a minimum of 150mm above ground level.

Where London bricks are used in the construction of a freestanding wall, a sulfate resistant cement (Hanson CEM II / B-V+SR) based mortar should be used. This is also recommended for all bricks where the brickwork is liable to prolonged saturation during cyclic frosts and if the presence of sulphates in the ground is suspected.

Earth retaining wallsWhere brickwork is in direct contact with retained earth, it is exposed to ground water which invariably contains salts.

• To prevent efflorescence of the exposed face of the wall, a waterproof barrier between the retained earth and the brickwork should be provided

• The waterproof barrier will also prevent frost damage and sulfation

• Coping and DPC detail on the head of the wall should be the same as for free standing walls

• Rendering of retaining walls is not recommended under any circumstances.

London bricks should not be used in unprotected earth retaining walls. They may however, be used in walls constructed in accordance with the guidance above and with the use of sulfate resistant cement based mortars.

A cement rich designation (ii) mortar (4 : 1 sand cement or equivalent) should be used for cappings and copings on both free standing and retaining walls.

Mortar colour can have a significant impact on the look of a building as generally mortar represents around 15% of the total visible brickwork area. When choosing mortar colours it may be advisable to construct sample panels onsite.

Brick design considerationsA guide to help you get more from your bricks.

The purpose of bonding is to make brickwork uniform in structure and composition and to maximise its strength, durability and visual appeal. Here are five of the most popular bonding patterns used in the UK.

Brick bond patterns

Stretcher bond

Header bond English bondFlemish bond

Stack bond

Flush The edge is finished flush with the brickwork surface.

Recessed The mortar is raked out to leave edge of the brickwork exposed, picking out individual bricks and creating a shadow effect.

Weathered struck The inset edge of the joint should be around 2mm and the forward edge should finish on the edge of the brick.

Bucket handle The mortar is ‘tooled’ to leave a concave, rounded joint.

Weathered struck & cut The inset edge of the joint should be around 2mm and the forward edge should project around 2mm beyond the brick surface.

Mortar joint profilesThe purpose of finishing joints is to improve the rain resistance and visual appeal of the wall by compacting the surface of the mortar and pressing it into contact with the bricks. Below are five mortar joint profiles commonly used in the UK.
