Free Brick Calculator

Why it's so useful

It gives you an answer in seconds

Brickhunter’s free online Brick Calculator makes brick count estimation effortless:

• ⦿ Enter your wall’s dimensions (height and length).

• ⦿ Choose the brick size - pick standard UK sizes or enter custom ones.

• ⦿ Input your mortar thickness.

The calculator then returns a precise brick count instantly. Always remember to add about 10% for wastage, just in case

With that simple process, guesswork becomes a thing of the past.

It saves cost, time and the planet

• ⦿ Bricks can be surprisingly expensive - especially on larger projects. Overordering by even 10% can inflate costs unnecessarily. 

• ⦿ Unused bricks often end up collecting dust or being thrown away - hardly ideal. Responsible ordering saves resources and reduces environmental impact. 

• ⦿ Running short on bricks mid-project means reordering - and potentially facing mismatched colour batches or out-of-stock issues.

• ⦿ Bricks from different batches can vary slightly in texture and tone. Ordering the correct amount up front helps maintain visual harmony across your build.

It's simple, fast and intuitive

Brickhunter’s calculator is designed for ease:

• 1 Input height and length of the structure.

• 2 Select a brick size (standard or custom).

• 3 Enter your mortar joint thickness.

• 4 Get a precise brick count in seconds (don’t forget to add ~10% for wastage).

Simple, accurate, and fast - perfect for project planning.
