Matching Brick Is Harder Than It Looks

Extending a house, filling in an old opening, or repairing a damaged wall all come down to the same problem: finding a brick that sits alongside the existing work without drawing the eye. Get it wrong and the new brickwork is the first thing anyone notices.

It is rarely as simple as matching a colour. Bricks weather, mortar changes the way a wall reads, and the original batch is often no longer made — particularly on anything built before the 1980s. Two bricks that look identical in a photo can look completely different laid up in daylight.

We hold over 400 brick types across handmade, machine-made and genuinely reclaimed ranges. Send us photos and we will tell you honestly what your closest options are — including when the honest answer is that nothing current will match and reclaimed is the better route.

How It Works

Free Samples

We send samples so you can hold them against the actual wall before ordering anything.

How to Photograph Your Brickwork

The quality of the match depends almost entirely on the photos. Two minutes spent getting these right saves a lot of back and forth.

📷 Photo 1 — Close Up

Stand close enough that four or five bricks fill the frame. We are looking at texture, colour variation within each brick, and the surface finish. Hold the camera square to the wall rather than at an angle.

📷 Photo 2 — From Several Feet Back

Step back far enough to capture a decent area of wall. This shows how the bricks blend as a whole and lets us see the mortar colour, which affects the match as much as the brick does.

A few things that help: shoot in daylight rather than direct sun, avoid shadows falling across the wall, and photograph a clean section rather than anything stained or heavily weathered. If the wall has faded on one elevation, a sheltered area gives a truer colour.

Send Us Your Photos

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the brick matching service work?
Send us two photos of your existing brickwork — one close up and one from a few feet back — along with a few details about your project. We compare them against our range of over 400 bricks and come back with the closest matches, usually within one working day.
Is brick matching free?
Yes, completely free and with no obligation. We would rather help you find the right brick than sell you the wrong one.
Why do you need two photographs?
A close-up shows the texture, colour variation and surface of individual bricks. A wider shot from several feet back shows how the wall reads as a whole, including the mortar colour and how the bricks blend together. Both matter — a brick that looks right close up can look wrong across a full elevation.
Can you guarantee an exact match?
No, and we would be cautious of anyone who does. Bricks weather over time and original batches are often no longer made. What we can do is find the closest available match and send you free samples so you can hold them against your wall before committing.
How long does it take?
We usually come back within one working day with our suggested matches. If your brickwork is unusual it may take a little longer while we check with our suppliers.
Will you send samples?
Yes. Once we have suggested matches we will send free samples so you can compare them against your actual wall, outdoors, in daylight. That is the only reliable way to judge a brick match.
What if my brick is no longer made?
This is common with older properties. In that case we look for the closest current equivalent, and our reclaimed range is often the better route for period and conservation work.
Do you charge for delivery?
Bricks are delivered free to any UK mainland address, with the delivery cost included in the price shown.
