Re: Bricks - replacing individual bricks 12Apr 01, 2019 9:06 pm Masonry blending of bricks needs to be uniform according to the guide of standards and tolerances otherwise its defective. I have come across this before, In your case you can colour random bricks with oxide mix to match the dark ones if your happy with that. I would not replace those 175 bricks as the effort involved would be painful. As abrickspecialist said $20 per brick would be bare minimum. It would take at least 30min for each brick by the time its knocked out, new one set in, ironed then washed. Re: Bricks - replacing individual bricks 13Apr 03, 2020 10:16 pm Simo1901 I am in the same sort of position as you an our bricks are very similiar....except our brickies didn't blend the Ascot bricks. The whole house is a patchy mess. The builder has admitted that there is a problem and has recommended NAWKAW to stain the bricks to make the blending look right. Can I ask what sort of resolution you came to with your builder? Has this been sorted? Thank You Re: Bricks - replacing individual bricks 14Apr 04, 2020 3:15 pm I ended up coming to an agreement via compensation from the Brick supplier. I had a NAWKAW rep come out to trial the matching, he admitted that he couldn't get a match. I was there with the NAWKAW rep, I can tell you I wouldn't have accepted it, it wasn't even close. Re: Bricks - replacing individual bricks 15Apr 04, 2020 11:38 pm Thanks for the reply. Hopefully we will come to some sort of resolution that suits both the builder and ourselves. I am hoping the brickwork will be pulled down (all 10,000 bricks) and redone. I think it will be too hard to replace the bricks that need replaced as there are too many. Staining won't be an option for me neither as I the bricks they stain are waterproof and when it rains they don't get wet so the house will look like a patchwork quilt with the different colours of wet and dry looking patches. Re: Bricks - replacing individual bricks 16Apr 21, 2020 12:51 pm Hi Simon. Should have asked. What are the name of your bricks? Ours are PGH Ascot Re: Bricks - replacing individual bricks 18Apr 23, 2020 12:16 pm starter Thanks for the reply.

I would look for a full re-do. I can’t see how NAWKAW would ever be effective in this type of scenario. 2 8363 Yes, get a builder, make sure he is experienced and a registered building practitioner 5 8975 Hi, we live in an area where the black soil is prone to a lot of movement.
