Right then..

I am having some difficulty getting hold of some bricks.. Is there anyone that works in a builders yard that could help..

I have an external door that needs to be bricked up.. Easy... Just needs some bricks and time to do it. I now have the time, but i can not get hold of the bricks in a small enough quanity. I can find suppliers but they want a minimum order of 4800 bricks. I only need 70 or so (Plus breakages)
So if anyone can source me around 100x Blockleys Wrenkin Wirecut Deep Red Mix Facing bricks. either delivered or collected will get a few beer tokens.

I dont mind ordering a pallet (256?) as i have a few other uses for them.. Brick BBQ etc..

Most builders merchants will sell you a small quantity.
Search on google for your local ones such as Builders Centre and Travis Perkins

Forgot to add this important bit....

Have gone to all in the local area..

Travis - Do not stock them
Hewden - Do not stock them
Jewson - Do not stock them

Why do these developers go for a completely off the wall supplier that you cant get easy!!

Slight thread hijack but what the hell, keep meaning to phone you myself James but this is much easier wink

Do you deal in timber gate posts at all, need some chunky ones for pair of 6' gates to hang off - thinking about 8" square and I guess 10' (4' into ground do you think for 6' solid gates?). If not something you deal in do you have any recommendations.

James does a sideline in gate automation so I'm pretty sure he'll be able to help smile
