Welcome to Carlton Brick, a privately owned clay brick factory in Yorkshire. Based at Grimethorpe, near Barnsley, bricks have been made on the site for at least 125 years. We manufacture about 35 million bricks every year, with the factory running seven days a week throughout the year - apart from at Christmas.
With over a century of experience we really know our brickmaking. As the largest independent in the UK, we continually strive to make bricks that are a perfect match for the regional variations in brickwork that exist in Britain, especially those brick types that might be found in the Midlands and North of England.
70 people work here, and we produce a range of bricks that runs to about 60 different types. The clay comes from our own reserves in the on-site quarry. We blend our clay before using it in the production process; this ensures exactly the right mix for making consistent, high quality red, buff or brown facing bricks.
Our extensive range can be seen in the Portfolio page of this site, or in any of our catalogues. Please call the Sales Office if you would like to be sent a brochure. You can also discuss your particular requirements with them.
Our customers range from Builders to Architects, from Local Authorities to Housing Associations, to Merchants to the General Public. All customers be they large or small are readily welcomed and a first class service and attention is offered to everyone.
