Brick question ?.

[samboy]

Hi gang.

              I have a window that needs to be bricked up and is 42"x42" roughly. Assuming they are a standard size brick which i think they

              are, how many bricks will i need. They are a London brick.

                                                                                                            Thanks all.

70 - 80 (depending on cuts and waste) if its half brick thick (4.5") or 140 - 160 if its one brick thick (9") - This

Measure a 42x42 square on the wall, count the bricks in the square, simples.

Depends, I'd say on the age of the property? Three inch Websters or if a newer building in last forty years something different. A good builders merchant will have a "brick library" so that you can match exactly the surrounding fabric of the building. E H Smith have a depot near Colchester.
