Our customers tell it better than we do!
Very easy
Very easy, nice people and great service from start to finish. Kept up to date regarding delivery so very happy indeed. Would definitely recommend, well done
Ultra fast
Ultra fast delivery, technically superlative company, their products are light years ahead of all others. Unbelievable prices. I have been in construction for nearly 70 years now and am still working every day. This company is why I keep getting up in a morning. Thank you dear sirs/ Madam for making life easier
Great Speedy service
Great speedy service. OSB boards arrived 1 week ahead of schedule. Driver asked where he could unload rather than just unload. Would definitely recommend.
The delivery was exceptional
The delivery was exceptional. We were expecting it on 23rd, we got it on 22nd. It was put in the exact spot we needed it to be put.
Competitive Price and Fast Delivery
They were very helpful when choosing the products that I wanted to order and they were fast at delivering. I was particularly impressed that they telephoned us afterwards to ensure the lintel arrived safely which is very unusual.
Grinning like an Armstrong Cheshire Cat
Easy fast ordering on line Delivered exactly as agreed in good condition. And left us all as the title of this review! Thank You
Our Range of High Quality, High Value Engineering Bricks
Our wide range of bricks provides unmatched durability, reliability, and resilience to any building project, making them a preferred choice for builders and engineers aiming for long-lasting and high-performing structures, all at a great price too. If your building is at a greater risk of water damage, you'll want to start here.
Class B Engineering Bricks
We stock Class B bricks designed for a variety of applications, from renowned suppliers such as Wienerberger, Ibstock, and Ketley Brick. Buy with confidence with our quality guarantee.
- Compressive Strength: Greater than 75 N/mm²
- Water Absorption: Less than 7%
Blue Engineering Bricks
Our range of blue bricks provides even greater strength and a lower water porosity than any red brick. The high compression strength makes a blue engineering brick perfect for a range of load-bearing applications.
Perforated Engineering Bricks
Perforated engineering bricks feature perforations or holes running through the bricks' height, improving brick-to-brick mechanical bonding for greater stability and strength. The perforations also decrease brick weight, improve strength and provide better insulation at a lower price too.
Red Engineering Bricks
Engineering red bricks are a solid, standard choice for a wide range of construction projects and brickwork applications. You'll find these widely used for their strength, durability and reliability. Available in perforated brick and solid brick options.
Plinth Bricks
Plinth bricks are not just decorative; they're integral to a building's structure, providing a stable step-back, offset at the base of a wall. Also used in structural detailing like window sills, splayed bases and corbelling.
Facing Bricks
Facing bricks, also known as face bricks, are a type of brick specifically designed for the external walls of a building, providing both an aesthetic finish and excellent strength and durability. Both our blue and red Class B bricks can be used as facing bricks. Shop our large range of facing bricks at Armstrong Cheshire, or contact us for further support.
How Many Engineering Bricks?
Take the stress out of building work calculations - use our engineering brick calculator to calculate the volume of bricks needed for your project. You'll be prompted to enter the height and length of the wall and the engineering brick size for an instant result. Order exactly what you need, and have us deliver your order so you can get straight to work.

Frequently Asked Questions
Bricks are produced using a combination of clay, water, sand, calcium silicate, and shale, and are ideal for projects involving walls and curves based on an unusual framework. Compared to regular bricks which shouldn't be used below ground level, engineering bricks are a lot stronger and have a strong resistance to water, frost, and moisture, making them a popular choice for buildings that stand in wet and colder environments. Class B red engineering bricks are produced on a larger scale and commonly used on construction sites. Their high compressive strength shows rates of over 75N/mm2 (mm²), with water absorption ratings usually below 7%.
Key advantages:
- High-compressive strength
- Low water absorption
- Durability and longevity
- Resistance to frost and chemicals
- High density
- Uniform shape and size
- Fire resistant
Class B Engineering Bricks are known for their strength, low water absorption, and durability, making them suitable for various construction applications. They play a structural role, rarely chosen for their aesthetic qualities, but can be used in paving, landscaping, drainage systems, boundary walls, joinery, and much more.
There are two types of engineering brick: Class A and Class B.
Class A - superior water resistance and compressive strength, available in a dark blue colour. Class A engineering bricks are often used in applications requiring high performance, such as load-bearing walls, paving, damp-proof courses, retaining walls, and building foundations.
Class B - red engineering bricks are manufactured in large quantities and are frequently utilised in construction projects. Highly resistant to water damage and frost.
Blue engineering bricks - provide less than 4.5% water absorption and up to 125/Nmm2 (mm²) of power.
Red engineering bricks - are often utilised in many construction projects. They typically have a compression strength exceeding 75N/mm² and a water absorption rate that remains under 7%.
Engineering brick prices vary depending on the volume you are looking to purchase. You can buy engineering bricks by single unit, starting at 66p or in bulk volumes of 504 at £347.
