The picture opposite shows block clad lintels. As with all our products these can be manufactured using a variety of materials including brick, granite and marble or even with a combination of different materials in order to achieve the desired effect.

The picture opposite shows brick angles being bonded. All our cut and bonded special bricks and blocks are BBA approved, giving you added piece of mind. It is important to use the same material which is being used on site as this avoids an ugly zipper effect, which can occur when using purpose made special bricks from the manufacture (as these are fired in separate kilns).

Segmental Arches
Our range of arches knows no limits and as with flat gauged arches we can produce these in any size to suit your requirements. The picture opposite is a building in Clifford Street, London, for which we supplied flat guaged arches and red rubbed segmental arches.

Bullseyes
Again we can produce these in any size to suit your requirements. The picture opposite shows our bullseye arches in situ during the construction of a Mosque in Blackburn. The Gothic arches, which we also supplied on this project are visible through the bullseye.

Semi-Circular Arches
The picture opposite shows just how serious we are, when we say we can produce arches in any size. This arch was the entrance to a privately owned residence in Weybridge and was manufactured complete with surrounding concrete lintel to aid construction. It comprises an inner ring of stretchers and Seven surrounding header rings.
Landscape Features
Another and more unusual product we can offer is the 'Landscape Feature', this like all of our other products can be manufactured from a wide range of materials. Our considerable years of knowledge in producing these features allows YOU to use your creative skills to the full, knowing that your dreams will become reality. The compass shown can now be seen at South Quay, Southampton.
