Northcot Brick is awarded 'Certificate of Quality' by the Guild of Master Craftsmen

Northcot Brick, one of the UK’s independent brick manufacturers, has been awarded membership of the Guild of Master Craftsmen in recognition of its skill and excellence in traditional brickmaking.

To receive the prestigious ‘Certificate of Quality and Service’, companies are rigorously assessed and required to prove that they have earned the right to be called ‘master craftsmen’ through the quality of their work, customer care and the level of service they provide.

Founded in 1925, Northcot Brick upholds the age-old values and craftsmanship of master brickmaking, using traditional handmade techniques that have hardly changed over the centuries and one of the last remaining coal-fired kilns in order to create characterful bricks that complement the built environment.

Well respected for its experience and expertise in creating bespoke blends for heritage and restoration projects, the company has the ability to match most regional brick variations and its wide range of colours, textures and sizes now enhance building projects all round the country.

In addition to a broad variety of genuine handmade bricks, Northcot manufactures wirecut facing bricks and textured reclaim bricks, as well as matching Specials including bonding, bullnose, angle, cant, and Victorian old type bricks, brick slips, copings and cappings.

“As a company steeped in the tradition of master brickmaking, we are delighted to receive the Guild’s ‘Certificate of Quality and Service’, which is recognised throughout the industry as a badge of excellence,” said Dale Moss, Works Manager at Northcot Brick.

Jennifer Phillips, Joint Managing Director of The Guild of Master Craftsmen said: “The Guild continues a long established tradition of bringing together skilled people and companies engaged in a trade, craft or profession, in order to safeguard the interests of the public. The Guild assesses, promotes and supports excellence in workmanship and there are now over 400 trades, services and professions represented.”
