Forterra’s range of building products is one of the most diverse in the UK. Whatever building materials you need – whether bricks and blocks, precast concrete solutions, walling and cladding systems for modern methods of construction (MMC), chimney pots, bespoke clayware, or permeable paving for the fight against flooding, along with much more besides – you can get them all from a single supplier, backed up with extensive technical and support services and nationwide delivery.
Across nine factories, we manufacture bricks using three different techniques: wirecut (extruded), soft mud (stock bricks) and semi-dry pressed, producing bricks in a wide array of colours and textures. Our range includes the iconic and original Fletton brick, which is sold under the London Brick name.
Widely used in residential, commercial and industrial construction projects, our range of aircrete and aggregate blocks are available in densities, weights and sizes to suit a variety of internal and external applications, from foundations to floors and walls and detailing. Choose from Thermalite airecrete blocks or Conbloc aggregate blocks.
Bespoke precast concrete solutions for residential, industrial, commercial, custodial, stadia, infrastructure and more. The expansive range of products and facades includes Jetfloor, hollowcore, beam and block and flooring; box culverts, omnia bridge decks and retaining walls for infrastructure; and crosswall frames, stairs and landings, stadia components and columns and beams for structural projects.
Forterra’s walling and cladding systems have been developed to help housebuilders and developers to deliver fast build times and consistent, high quality workmanship. The range includes lightweight, brick slip cladding system, Wonderwall; Quickwall, a prefabricated walling system; and Surebrick, a retained brick slip system.
