Sussex Handmade Brick
Handmade Brick Specialists Since 1896
William Blyth is proud sister company to Sussex Handmade Brick, a specialist British manufacturer of traditional handmade bricks with a heritage of brickmaking dating back to 1896.
Sharing our appreciation for traditional craftsmanship, natural materials, and the character they bring to the built environment, Sussex Handmade Brick produces distinctive clay bricks for projects across the UK.
From sensitive restoration and conservation work to characterful new builds and individual homes, the range provides architects, specifiers, developers, builders, and homeowners with bricks made for projects where appearance and authenticity matter.
A Shared Commitment To British Craftsmanship
William Blyth and Sussex Handmade Brick share more than a connection as sister companies. Both businesses are built around specialist British manufacturing and a respect for traditional materials and methods.
While William Blyth specialises in handmade clay roof tiles, Sussex Handmade Brick brings the same craft-led approach to brickmaking. This shared expertise allows customers working on heritage properties, conservation projects, new developments, and self-build homes to explore complementary clay products for both the roof and elevations of a building.
Explore The Sussex Handmade Brick Range
Sussex Handmade Brick produces several distinctive brick collections, providing options for both traditional and contemporary projects.
Handmade Bricks
Traditional handmade bricks offer the subtle variations, textures, and imperfections associated with genuine craft production. They are particularly suited to conservation work and projects designed to establish an authentic, established appearance.
Berry Bricks
The distinctive Berry range is produced using a traditional Berry brickmaking machine dating from the early 1900s. This creates a smoother appearance than a traditionally thrown handmade brick while retaining the individual character associated with specialist manufacturing.
Standard & Non-Standard Special Bricks
Where an existing brick needs to be matched or a project requires something outside the standard range, Sussex Handmade Brick can also support bespoke brick requirements. This is particularly relevant for restoration, conservation, and architecturally sensitive projects.
Clay Craftsmanship From Roof To Elevation
For projects where material choice is central to the finished character of a building, William Blyth and Sussex Handmade Brick provide access to specialist clay products shaped by generations of manufacturing knowledge.
Whether specifying handmade roof tiles for a traditional roofscape or handmade bricks for the building beneath it, customers can select materials that celebrate natural variation, craftsmanship, and architectural character.
Together, our two companies help preserve the qualities that make Britain’s historic and traditionally inspired buildings distinctive.
