Bricks for a chimney

davholla

My house is from the late 1890s any idea about what type of bricks to buy for the chimney?

Thanks in advance.

What exactly are they for ?
Clamp bricks ?
Hand made bricks ?
You need to provide more details before anyone can comment further

The bricks are to extend the height of the chimney for our loft conversion.

Wouldn't the builder be the best person to ask?

He will be able to look at the chimney and see what's best.

Your builder should be able to match them fairly easily at the local builders merchants. Something like a clamp brick depending on what your existing bricks look like would be fine.
