The London Brick Collection: Timeless British Quality for Your Build

The London Brick range is more than just a building material; it is a fundamental part of the UK's architectural heritage. Produced by Forterra (formerly the London Brick Company or LBC), these bricks have been the backbone of British housing for over a century. Known for their distinctive "frog" and reliable performance, they are the go-to choice for homeowners and contractors looking to maintain consistency and character.

At DBM DIY, we offer an extensive selection of London facing bricks to ensure your next extension, garden wall, or renovation blends perfectly with existing structures.

Explore the London Facing Brick Range

What makes the London Brick range unique is its variety of textures and colours, specifically designed to match the diverse housing styles found across the country. Whether you need a rugged, weathered look or a smooth, contemporary finish, there is an LBC brick for every aesthetic.

LBC Heather: A versatile favorite, featuring a blend of deep purples, browns, and reds. It’s the gold standard for matching mid-century suburban homes.

LBC Rustic: Characterised by its heavily textured, "creased" face, the Rustic is perfect for projects requiring a more traditional, rugged appearance.

LBC Tudor: Offers a warmer, softer red palette with a light texture, ideal for creating a classic, welcoming facade.

LBC Sandfaced: These bricks feature a fine sand coating on the face, providing a consistent, matte finish in various shades like Red and Multi.

LBC Milton Buff: For those looking to replicate the classic "London Stock" look, the Milton Buff provides those sought-after yellow and creamy tones.

Why Choose Genuine London Bricks?

The secret to the London Brick's success lies in the Fletton manufacturing process. By using Lower Oxford Clay, which contains natural fuel sources, these bricks are fired with incredible efficiency, resulting in a product that is both high-quality and environmentally conscious.

The Iconic "Frog": The deep indentation on the top makes these bricks significantly lighter and easier to handle on-site, while the shape allows for a stronger mortar bond.
Effortless Matching: If you are extending a property built between the 1930s and 1980s, the London Brick range is almost certainly the exact match you need to ensure a seamless transition between old and new.
Cost-Effective Durability: Despite their premium reputation, London Bricks are among the most economical facing bricks on the market, offering exceptional value without compromising on structural integrity.
