How to judge a good brick
A well-fired brick is uniformly deep red, has sharp straight edges, rings when two are struck together, and does not crumble at the corners. Under-fired bricks look pale, sound dull and absorb far too much water.

Buying guide
Estimating quantity
A 9-inch (230mm) wall takes roughly 90 to 100 bricks per square metre, and a 4.5-inch partition wall about 45 to 50. Add 5 percent for breakage and cutting.
Soak before laying
Dry bricks pull water out of the mortar and weaken the joint. Soak them for a few hours before laying, and let the surface water drain off before the mason picks them up.
