BLOCK LAYING

Cement block laying is usually a cheaper method of masonry construction.

This makes block laying ideal for the long internal load-bearing walls and those large exterior retaining walls.

Concrete blocks can now be obtained with patterned faces or, if you prefer, they can be easily finished with a decorative plaster.

Brick Effect often choose to use the popular technique of ‘bagging’.

Bagging can provide a fantastic plastered textured finish to relieve the monotony of the longest walls. Often, retaining walls are best built using concrete blocks.

Blocks can give that broad-faced strength to hold back-fill of any type. Wet and eroding soils can be prevented from moving onto your living space.

Retaining wall can open up all sorts of terrain and areas that would otherwise have been left unusable.

Landscapers often plan for retaining walls to create outdoor areas full of points of interest and highlights to featuring a garden, a plant or leisure areas.

BRICK CLEANING

“Even the best-laid bricks…”, need cleaning!

Unfortunately, it’s in the nature of the job. When a gang finds their rhythm and groove it is folly to stop them to polish up each minor blemish.

Cleaning is also the time when small imperfection caused during the firing process is noticed and corrected.

None of this is a problem because Brick Effect has its own accredited tradespeople to clean. It’s a process that requires not only knowledge and skill but the necessary industrial equipment for that perfect finish.

Brick Effect has invested in the best cleaning equipment and can complete this stage of the project not only quickly and effectively but also cheaply.

BBQs and Pizzas

A feature at the front can be easily matched with a feature around the back.

BBQ modules are available at all BBQ outlets. These modules allow you to fit them into a bespoke brick BBQ foundation and surround. Design your structure to feature your grill and oven sections along with a sensible preparation area.

And Remember…

The newest trend for the back yard is to have your own working Pizza Oven – gas-fired or wood burning. Brick Effect knows how to construct them with maximum working efficiency and with designs based on any one of the many gallery examples.
