A long-time favourite of architects, restoration specialists and housebuilders, Cradley Special Brick manufactures British Standard, non-standard and tailor-made bricks. They provide the detail that can transform the ordinary into the extraordinary and, occasionally, the award winning. And they can help you to turn your vision into reality, too.
Finding the best solution for your project

Whatever the complexity, scope or scale of your project, the team will work with you to find the best solution for your timescale, budget and, of course, aesthetic requirements – whether you need one or 100,000 special shaped bricks, and whatever the shape or size.
