Easy brick matching for your extension, renovation or restoration project.The original London brick goes back over 130 years and has been used in the construction of over 5 million homes. There are 23 bricks in the range available in the standard 65mm size with 4 types available in 73mm. Builders and specifiers can be confident of the product’s ability to colour match existing dwellings and provide quality and reliability founded on over 130 years of brick making expertise.

The range has a variety of colours and textures, from a classic Rustic brick, symbolic of the housing boom in the second half of the 20th century, through to yellows and buffs, such as Saxon Gold and Honey Buff.

Photographic sample cards are available for all bricks on request from your local Hanson stockist, or you can order them from our website.

Technical SpecificationLondon bricks have the distinctive ‘frog’ feature making them easier to cut and handle. All London bricks are manufactured to comply with BS EN 771 – Part 1: Specification For Clay Masonry Units to a size of 215mm x 102.5mm x 65mm. Certain bricks are also available in 73mm.

All Hanson products are manufactured under a quality assurance system which conforms to BS EN ISO 9001:2008 and an Environmental Management System to ISO 14001:2004. Copies of our certificates are available to download from www.hanson.com/uk.

Freestanding wallsFreestanding walls can be subjected to severe weather conditions. In order to avoid frost damage, careful consideration must be paid to the following aspects of design;

• Copings must be (F2) frost resistant such as those supplied by Hanson.

• Copings with drip channels should be used to shed rain clear of the wall faces.

• Copings should overhang the brickwork by at least 45mm.

• Drip channels should have sharp edges and be free from mortar or other obstruction.

• F1 bricks should not be used for cappings on freestanding walls.

Mortar joints are not impervious to moisture; this is resolved by using a continuous damp proof membrane immediately below the copings, projecting at least 13mm beyond the mortar.

A damp proof course (DPC) must be provided at a minimum of 150mm above ground level.

Where London bricks are used in the construction of a freestanding wall, Hanson’s sulfate resistant cement (Hanson CEM II / B-V+SR) based mortar should be used. This is also recommended for all bricks where the brickwork is liable to prolonged saturation during cyclic frosts and if the presence of sulphates in the ground is suspected.

Hanson brick coping with DPC and 45mm overhangNote all brickwork copings should be of frost resistant quality

Type 2 DPC or engineering brick

50

Earth retaining wallsWhere brickwork is in direct contact with retained earth, it is exposed to ground water which invariably contains salts.

• To prevent efflorescence of the exposed face of the wall, a waterproof barrier between the retained earth and the brickwork should be provided.

• The waterproof barrier will also help prevent frost damage and sulfation.

• Coping and DPC detail on the head of the wall should be the same as for free standing walls.

• Rendering of retaining walls is not recommended under any circumstances.

London bricks should not be used in unprotected earth retaining walls. They may however, be used in walls constructed in accordance with the guidance above and with the use of sulfate resistant cement based mortars.

A cement rich Class M6 designation (ii) mortar (4 : 1 sand cement or equivalent) should be used for cappings and copings on both free standing and retaining walls.

Mortar and bricklaying

Protect work under construction from weather.

Batch materials in measured volumes.

Fill all joints.

Avoid over tapping new-laid bricks.

Dress mortar joint with a mortar finishing tool.

Avoid mortar stains.

• Do not build at or near freezing conditions.• Lay London bricks frog upwards for maximum

strength and density, and also for maximum rain penetration protection: when neither is required, as in most low-rise dwellings, bricks may be laid frog down.

Mortar mixes for London bricksInternal and external from DPC to eaves: (Class M4 Designation iii) 1 : 6 Portland Cement : sand + plasticiser or 1 : 1 : 6 Portland Cement : lime : sand + plasticiser Freestanding and retaining walls above DPC, and all brickwork below ground: (Class M6 Designation ii) 1 : 4 Portland Cement* : sand + plasticiser or 1 : 1 : 4 Portland Cement : lime : sand + plasticiser

*Freestanding walls and severely exposed freestanding walls, or for rendered brickwork use sulphate-resisting cement. The application of render to chimneys, parapet walls and retaining walls is not recommended.

Brick storage

Bricks should be stored on a level, free draining surface that is protected from the elements. Polythene wrapping provides protection from the weather, if this is removed for inspection it needs to be replaced or alternative protection needs to be provided.

Blending bricks

Bricks should be loaded-out from a minimum of 3 packs and it is advisable to draw from the packs in vertical rather than horizontal slices. Doing this helps avoid colour patchiness or banding in the brickwork.

Protection of newly built brickworkWhen work stops or is interrupted by inclement weather conditions, brickwork should be protected immediately with polythene sheeting that is held in place with a suitable fixing. If new brickwork is not protected, lime stains, efflorescence, patchy mortar colour and patchy brickwork can occur.

Bricklaying should stop when the temperature falls below 3°c and when frost is imminent.

Brick specialsWe do not recommend London Bricks for use as copings or sills so Hanson has produced a complementary range of special shaped bricks.

Alternatively we maintain a select range of specials in smooth red and smooth blue. These are ideal for garden walls, conservatories and other design features to add the finishing touches and give added protection to the brickwork.
