Overall I’m really pleased with the outcome of this project. However, there are a few things a prospective DIY enthusiast should consider

1) The slips are all shapes and sizes. Whilst this is great for the overall look it’s an absolute headache trying to keep things level. I tried countering this using laser levels and drawn lines. The shape also meant that I underestimated the impact around our log burner, resulting in a rewrite of the top section.

2) Ordering - I used the online order calculator. Whilst I had enough of everything I was left with a full bag of cement and an unopened box of spacers, together with a further half bag of cement and mortar.

3) Brick dust - be wary of the amount of dust on the slips. The red dust certainly toned down the cream mortar when clearing up.

4) Cutting tiles - I used a diamond cutter but found very quickly that the odd slip shapes made it difficult to make straight cuts

5) Sealing- we just about had enough sealant for one coat. It’s very wet! On the video guide it talks about letting the sealer dry before a second application but the sealant pack says not to do that. Some very clear guidance would be useful.

6) Watch the videos- they are very useful.

Great bricks and easy to order and install

Great product. Promt service.

Very professional and fantastic Customer Service

All the info sent with the product was great and very helpful for me to be able to install them myself.

Entire experience from start to finish was a pleasure. My order for brick slips was dispatched promptly. The first order was damaged during the delivery process and this is something that was noted before delivery and a fresh batch sent out- all without involving me in any way! I was kept fully updated about the progress of my order and the second batch made it to me safely. I built a fireplace for my living room and it's been the most admired feature of the house! I seem to have miscalculated and ordered more tiles than I needed - but very much looking forward to using it for another project! Would definitely definitely recommend

Efficient service, lovely slips, all sent promptly and with clear instructions

Great product, looks just as I had hoped.

When I spoke to agent very helpful with my order and and telling me the best way to go about it would not hesitate in placing more orders in the future,arrived when the agent said it would quality bricks.

Ordering was very easy. We especially liked the fact that once we had chosen our brick, the additional products that we needed were worked our for us. As novice wall builders this was extremely helpful. The lead time was good allowing us to start our project in a timely manner and the delivery driver was very helpful.

They were extremely helpful on the phone - advising which items were in stock for immediate delivery. The product was delivered very promptly and was of an excellent quality and looks fabulous! Another company didn’t even deliver the samples!
