Matching bricks for an extension

Question

Is it possible to use bricks in an extension that match your house? Or will they always look a bit different? My house was built in the 1990s, so I'm hoping it's possible to make the extension look seamless.

Hello  charles,in most cases you should be able to match bricks to your house,as it's not that old. The only slight difference is the bricks on your house would be weathered ,and the new bricks would be a slightly brighter shade.

It’s possible but it would take time in getting your materials as I would use reclaimed bricks the same as your existing brickwork it’s best to find a good reclaimers yard and normally they got a few pallets that might match useing new bricks will look a bit odd until they are weather Thankyou

Take a photo and go to your local builders merchant they will have a brick library. Just bare in mind the bricks on your house are weathered so the new ones will be slightly lighter in colour.
