Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Sep 19, 2018 5:17 pm Has anyone else been unhappy with Eden bread brick work? We paid to upgrade our bricks to espresso and upgraded the mortar as well. The brickies made such a mess and it has now been acid washed but it has left little holes in the brick work as well as red and brown colour coming through on all the bricks we are not happy wanting some advice on how to handle it as we really can’t afford for the bricks to be redone Re: Edenbrae brick work 2Sep 19, 2018 5:24 pm Twandles Has anyone else been unhappy with Eden bread brick work?

Here's hoping we don't run into a similar issue. Should we be asking them to be hand washing the bricks later to clean and not to acid wash??

Are they painted bricks if they are yes a soft wash just to be careful I'm having all my bricks replaced at the moment I had bad bricklayers my bricks were all chipped not straight different sizes and colours there sacked the bricklayers and there got a new crew in fixing my home but I'll still will be getting soft wash by hand Thank you Kathy. Yes, they are painted. Sad to hear about them bricks. I will definitely be asking our CSO about hand washing the bricks now.
