Buckinghamshire, with its distinctive geology, is famous for it's bricks. All our clay is still dug from original deposits around Bellingdon and from nearby Chalfont St. Giles.

One opportunity to get it right

Building with the right bricks immediately upgrades the finished look of a building and complements the setting and landscape. This not only adds value immediately, but enhances the future value as good materials improve and mellow with age.

Making the right choice of facing bricks is vital. They are the building element which once in place, cannot be changed.
