Heritage built on craftsmanship
Northcot Brick Limited is one of the last remaining brickworks in the UK to produce genuine handmade bricks using traditional coal-fired kilns. Located at the edge of the Cotswolds in Gloucestershire, Northcot has been producing bricks since the 1920s, using local clay sourced from their own quarry.
This natural clay, rich in colour and mineral diversity, gives Northcot bricks their distinctive textures and warm hues — attributes that have made them the material of choice for countless award-winning projects.
Each handmade brick is crafted by skilled brickmakers, many of whom have decades of experience. These bricks are fired in traditional clamp kilns, a time-honoured method that results in unique tonal variations and a characterful finish that simply can’t be replicated by modern manufacturing processes.
The result is a brick with exceptional charm, perfect for heritage applications, period-style buildings, and those looking for authenticity in their architectural design.
Extensive product range
Northcot Brick offers both handmade and machine-made bricks, catering to a wide range of architectural needs and budgets. Their collection includes:
1 Handmade bricks
Northcot’s handmade bricks are ideal for conservation and restoration projects where an authentic appearance is essential.
With a selection of rich red, orange, buff, and weathered tones, these bricks bring character and charm to any build.
Each batch is unique, offering variations in tone and texture that mimic aged, reclaimed bricks without the inconsistencies or limited availability.
2 Machine-made bricks
Northcot’s extruded bricks provide a more uniform appearance while still retaining the depth of colour and texture associated with traditional methods.
These bricks are ideal for large-scale housing developments, commercial buildings, and contemporary architecture where consistency and performance are key.

Projects that speak for themselves
Northcot’s bricks have been used in a wide range of high-profile and award-winning architectural projects throughout the UK. Their work has been recognised by numerous industry awards, including the BDA Brick Awards – one of the UK’s most prestigious accolades in brickwork design.
Some notable projects include:
