Whether your requirements are large or small, intricate or straightforward, you are guaranteed the same high quality service. To make sure we know your exact requirements, we will visit your site and survey the materials needed. We will then provide a report, quotation and samples. On receipt of your order, we produce full-scale working drawings for your approval prior to manufacture. The process is fast but thorough. And - at least for our customers - we ensure it is painless.DesignTaking the strain Our design service relieves you of the task of surveying details and providing working drawings. So, whatever your perspective - architect, civil engineer, developer, builder, or member of the public, - Lamb's make life easier. We have embraced modern technology to enhance our design process. Gauged arches, special bricks and carvings are designed with the most up-to-date CAD packages. Where complex elevation detailing is involved we often provide 3D camera projection drawings for approval. Such technology benefits our customers who can better visualise the finished product.ManufactureIn the bloodTo ensure their authentic characteristics, most Lamb's products are made by hand. Working on detailed products requires considerable skill and patience. Hence, our brick and terracotta makers serve a minimum five-year apprenticeship. Clay manufacturing runs in the blood and some families have worked with the company for three generations. The accumulated knowledge of just nine members of our production team totals more than 150 years.The burning questionWe fire our products in a number of customised and controlled ways, depending on what is required of the final item. In general, our bricks are fired in a clamp, the oldest method of all, dating back to the Pharaohs. A clamp is a stack of moulded and dried bricks set for burning that does not have any permanent structure. Clamp firing gives Lamb's bricks their authentic appearance and characteristics.DeliveryDown to the last detailLamb's are proud of their products and services and carry that quality through to delivery. Products are carefully packed to ensure they arrive in perfect condition. Our drivers are skilled in handling trays of, for example, intricate mouldings. When required, products are individually labeled to facilitate their placement.Enter the Sitecase 1case 2case 3case 4 case 5 case 6 case 7 contactdesigndesign 1design 2design 3faqsfaqs 1faqs 2homemoremore 1paymentproductsprojectsprojects 1projects 2projects 3projects 4projects 5 Chartwell Light Red StocksChartwell Medium Multi StocksChartwell Rough StocksChartwell Selected Light Multi StocksDark Grey Ash Glazed HeadersHandmade Dark Multi Clamp StocksHandmade Goodwood Medium Red Waterstruck PaversHandmade Light Multi Clamp StocksHandmade Medium Multi Clamp StocksHandmade Rubber Range Light Multi FacingsHandmade Rubber Range Medium Multi FacingsHandmade Rubber Range Medium/Dark Multi FacingsSilver Grey Ash Glazed HeadersSmooth Gault FacingsSmooth Red FacingsVictorian Red Paversarches right faiencestoneterraSawn Natural Top Grade Wealden Sussex Sandstone Sawn Natural Building Grade Wealden Sussex Sandstone Sawn Natural Portland WhitbedSawn Natural Bath StoneSawn Natural YorkstoneWet Cast Bath StoneWet Cast York StoneWet Cast Portland StoneBuilding Grade Wealden Sussex Sandstone Coursed Split Face WallingBuilding Grade Wealden Sussex Sandstone Coursed Split Face Walling Weathered Arris DetailBuilding Grade Wealden Sussex Sandstone Coursed Split Face Walling with Rusticated EdgesBuilding Grade Wealden Sussex Sandstone Random Height Hand Split WallingKentish Ragstone WallingNatural Riven Sandstone PavingYork Riven Sandstone PavingSawn Natural Yorkstone PavingWealden Sussex Sandstone Feature StonesBuilding Grade Wealden Sussex Sandstone Rock Garden Stone
