Where to get matching bricks ?

[trevorbayliss]

Any idea where i can get bricks to match these old victorian ones in scarborough ? Do i just ask a local reclamation yard ?

They are white/cream style. I want to fill in about 3 air vents i have on the flat. So will need about 3 bricks per vent.

Builders merchants usually able to match up brick type, but may not be exact.

Can try reclamation yards, but might be a bit fruitless as old Victorian building don't get knocked down that often

Maybe a modern sandlime brick will be close

Just leave them in and block them up if you don't need the air

Or take some from an inconspicuous area, obviously replacing the ones you've "nicked".
