Yellow Stock Bricks are original imperial bricks, they were predominately used within the London area and are also found in the South East. They were mass produced in the early 1900’s, at Smeed Dean Brickworks, Kent. The fields around London were built up with new housing during this period using Yellow Stock Bricks. They are still very much in demand.
YELLOW STOCK BRICKS
are sought after for decorative conservation, restoration use and for additions where the new build will mirror the original.
Our Yellow Stocks are professionally hand sorted, cleaned and graded by our own team, then consistently packed from outside in on pallets ready for reuse.
One aspect of brickwork which often causes confusion is estimating how many bricks or blocks will be required for a planned wall – you don’t want to run out before you finish but you also don’t want a pallet load of material left unused when you have finished. Making these estimates is fairly straightforward using just a few figures.
A half brick wide wall requires 60 bricks per square metre.
So the first stage is just to measure the height and length (including any piers) of the wall in metres, multiply them together to give the area in square metres, and then multiply this by 60.
So the total number of bricks for the wall is:
wall height (metres) x wall length (metres) x 60 = number of bricks
A one brick wide wall requires 120 bricks per square metre.
So the first stage is just to measure the height and length of the wall in metres, multiply them together to give the area in square metres, and then multiply this by 120.
So the total number of bricks for the wall is:
wall height (metres) x wall length (metres) x 120 = number of bricks
