    Brick Matching

    MGN Builders Merchants Brick Matching Service

    At MGN Builders Merchants, our Brick Matching Service helps you find the closest possible match for your existing brickwork — ideal for extensions, repairs, and renovations. With over 300 brick variations available, we can provide expert guidance and a wide choice to suit your project.

    All of our branches feature brick display walls, so you can view and compare bricks in person. If you can’t visit, we also ship brick samples on request — just contact our sales team, and we’ll arrange delivery to your site or home.

    What to Expect

    • Colour Variation Between Batches – Natural differences in clay, firing conditions, and weathering mean bricks — even of the same type — can vary from one batch to another. Older bricks will almost always look slightly different due to ageing and exposure.
    • Bring a Sample or Photo – For the most accurate match, bring a physical brick sample or high-quality photos of your wall, mortar, and surrounding brickwork.
    • Compare Stock & Alternatives – We’ll check our stocked bricks and suggest the closest available options. If your brick is discontinued, we’ll provide suitable alternatives.

    Best Practice Tips

    • Buy in One Go – Always calculate your full requirement and purchase bricks in a single order to avoid mismatched colours across your project.
    • Mix Packs When Laying – Use bricks from multiple packs during installation to achieve a consistent, blended finish and avoid “banding.”

    How It Works

    1. Visit Our Branches – Orpington, Romford, and Woodford, where brick displays are available.
    2. Bring Your Own Sample – Bring a brick or send clear photos so we can compare.
    3. Expert Guidance – Our team will advise the closest matches or suitable alternatives.

    Disclaimer

    While MGN will always aim to provide the closest possible match, exact brick matches cannot be guaranteed due to natural variations in manufacturing, ageing, and supplier availability. We recommend reviewing samples in person or requesting a sample before placing large orders. Returns and cancellations are subject to our Returns Policy.
