Hi All,I'm trying to mage good a hole in a wall where a flue terminal wentthrough and need half a dozen or so new yellow stock pattern typebricks to match the originals.They look like this: that works, only just created the account).The b.i.l. found me some that look very similar but are more pink andI believe they will stand out when placed in a little patch as with afilled hole (rather than spread about etc) :-(Any idea who might stock such please (Nth London / Herts) and whatthey might be called (other than 'bricks' of course) so I can ask forthe right things. ;-)All the best ..T i m

Dunno - there are so many different bricks, and they may not still be making bricks exactly like yours. Can you take one out, and take it round to a few BMs, to try to find the best match? [If you *can* get one out and clean it up, it will probably say on the frog who made it]Is there any part of the house which is less conspicuous - from which you could nick a few bricks and replace them with something which doesn't quite match?Whoever built the wall shown in your photo was pretty economical with the bricks and generous with the mortar! Was that an extension built with metric bricks - with the brick courses needing to line up with the original house built with imperial bricks?

What brick is this ...

Take a long an existing brick or photo to Butterfields brick library in Luton they should be able to match it for you.

Ah - it was the reference to 'Time' which threw me!

I'll willingly be bricked up for Tim :-)

I think I have determined (with some help from my friends ) it is a London Brick 'Ironstone' and I hope to get to a local stockist tomorrow or Monday and see how similar theirs are to what we have already.

At the end of the day this is just a hole blocking job on a simple extension but I like to do it right if I can. ;-)

All the best ..
