ABOUT US
A Heritage Brick Company Since 1896
As a trusted brick supplier, and one of the few remaining true UK brick manufacturers, Sussex Handmade Brick has been crafting authentic British bricks for over a century.
Our Story
While the wider UK brick industry has evolved, we have preserved the essence of authentic handmade production, protecting the skills, knowledge, and machinery that define true craft-led brick making. As dedicated brick makers, we continue to use heritage equipment, including early twentieth-century machinery, alongside carefully integrated modern kiln technology to ensure both authenticity and consistency.
Our bricks are shaped from natural brick earth unique to the region of Sussex and Kent. This high-silicate clay creates rich natural colours and soft creasing marks without the need for heavy sanding, stains, or pigments. The result is a brick with warmth, texture, and variation, suited to listed buildings, conservation areas, estates, and distinctive new developments.
Over generations, our handmade bricks have been specified for prestigious heritage restorations and high-quality contemporary schemes alike. Whether supplying contractors, architects, conservation officers, developers, merchants, or private clients, we remain committed to producing regionally faithful materials with care and precision.
As a heritage brick company, our responsibility extends beyond production. We act as custodians of a craft that must endure for future generations.
