Sourcing bricks (corbel)

mariannewims

Hey there,

We're having our 1915 red brick house re-pointed and need a few corbel bricks replaced. I've tried several salvage yards but they seem to be hard to come by. Would anyone have any suggestions where I might find some?

I'm in Dublin but would travel for the right bricks!
I've attached a photo.
Tried Mac Salvage, S.T. Salvage, Landmark in Newcastle, Deckclad, Hamiltons, Kilkenny Architectural Salvage but would appreciate suggestions of where else might have them.

Thanks!
Mar.

Check out the following link to traditional bricklayers / plasterers on the Irish Georgian Society register. http://igs.ie/Resources/Skills/Skills-Search-Result-List.aspx?craft=bricklayers+plasterers&searchMode=2
As these are bricklayers working primarily in conservation, they may have a wide range of contacts to sorce the relevant brick. Best of luck.
