Working off brick samples from your job is the best way to match your bricks. If you have several loose bricks, bring them in to our used /recycled brick depot and one of our experienced staff will help you match them. A second method is by using a good photographs. Take digital photos in good light of approximately 1 Sq. Meter of wall space or recycled brick paving space in the picture frame, and a second photo close-up containing only 2-3 bricks in the picture frame and email them to us using our contact details.
