Red half round coping bricks

[dans]

I need 20m of red half round. 9" long coping , which is going to be really hard to find in reclaimed form, do I wondered if any of you helpful people had any experience and /or advice on sources for good quality new bricks?

Thanks,
Dan

ebay for 2nd hand , but they are always at the wrong end of the country which makes collection horrendously expensive.

For new go here, for example :
http://www.ibstock.com/highlights-brick-selector.asp?#

go to 'Specials' and look at CP.1.2.

Order these through a local builders merchants ?
Usually takes a couple of weeks....

Good luck

York Handmade bricks could make new against a sample providing a good size, colour and texture match.

Handy tip from Peter Minter of Bulmer Brickworks - to avoid disappointment when ordering bricks to match existing, make sure the supplier goes to see the actual wall, don't just send a single brick to them, because the supplier will take pride in doing their utmost to match that one, which may not be representative of the whole building.
