Sourcing an old brick

Bob99754096

Doing an extension to side of the house and trying to match the brick type but of course it went end of production over 10years ago. Would anyone have any advice on if there is somewhere to still source an old brick like this or any recomendations on a good match please? Its a red/orange brick. I have rang nearly every provider in Ireland and UK. Orignal brick name was "Ormonde Meadow Blend". Thanks

Salvage yards are your best bet.

I used Google Lens on that image and it's coming back with this:

Google lens was a good idea. I was in Outhaus but they didn't have anything fairly close to a match

Do they have to be full bricks or would slips do?

Where are you based?

Would they be stocking bricks made that recently?

Sorry, only seeing your response now. Do you have a link to where you saw them? I checked Murdocks but don't see them. Thanks
