Wouldnt you get some squints made up or cut and bond your own -I think epoxy glue is used.

Use cut and bonded brick,your merchant can order these using your face brick, make a template to suit.
Straight joints look shoddy.

Aye Stuart it was that one I thought I was gonna have the most bother with. I've got access to a clipper so that's no an issue just never had to do it before so no wanting to make a pigs ear of it.
Another option is to use universal joint brick and make a feature of it.

It hasn't got a straight joint, looks better than OP first idea.
I would use cut and bonded by specialist about £5 each, the sharp angle as Stuart says would be awkward to do yourself.

I know what a straight joint is and I can see a straight joint in the other picture you posted
Ideally, external angle bricks as shown in your earlier photo are the answer.

The picture was for original poster to see how awful it looks,and thats quite a decent example.
The universal brick was just another option ,never used them but have seen them in an extension i always pass and they suit that building perfect,due to the original brick features.
They don't have a straight joint as such, but like we all agree first choice is bonded brick.

UJ's are quite popular on sites nowadays, as the angle is easily adjusted to suit. Some people think they look good. Any of the methods require a lot of care lining up the corner. Using a plumbline helps a lot if you can set one up.

Thank you, I have worked on jobs with some quite fancy brickwork features but I must admit I was not familiar with that universal brick corner detail.
I see what you mean about the 'vertical joint'. Like you suggest it would need some particular brickwork features on the existing building for that not to stand out like a sore thumb on a new extension.

Cheers for all the replys lads got in touch with the architect and he's gonna price up getting cut and bonded bricks made.
I wouldn't call that a decent example of a straight joint . Pretty confident I could do a much tidier job of running a straight joint so it wouldn't stick oot like that.
