First of all THANK YOU for including the Classic Brick Red kit with my order. It was very kind of you and was the perfect addition. I ended up using a combination of the Classic Red Brick and the Tudor Brown to come very close to the color of our bricks. I did the entire area in the mixture, then went back over the bad mortar job with some Brick-Age. The light color of the mortar still shows a bit in places, so I still may do a very diluted coat of the brick age in a few places. But, unless you know what to look for it looks amazing. I don’t think it will ever look as perfect as the original, but the “curb appeal” of our house just increased immensely! In the second picture you can see that I made a wash of very dilute acrylic paint and lightened the areas above the windows and door. Looks so neat and clean. :) Thank you so very much for your help and for sending the extra color. I’m amazed that you just knew that’s the color I needed. I am beyond happy! All the best, Julie

Westminster Hall, Restoration WorkDyebrick has been used on internal Ashlar Stone at Westminster Hall, London which is the oldest building on the Parliamentary estate (11th Century). It was carefully used to touch-in or disguise inappropriate materials that had been applied to the fabric of the building, particularly dark grey portland cement smears, which are too difficult to remove without damaging the original stone.
Zeppelin Damage: Cloth Fair, London.
Zeppelin Damage: Cloth Fair, London.
This house is the oldest residential property in London. It was built Circa. 1597 It actually survived the Great Fire of London as it was within the walls of the Priory. It also survived a Zeppelin bombing raid during World War I. Damage to the brickwork on the third floor level was sustained during further attacks from bombing raids during World War II. These bricks were replaced a few years later but never matched. Dyebrick was used to blend the offending areas sympathetically, creating an authentic aged appearance which matched the period original. Dyebrick is the first choice for Preservation Companies and is approved by many Local Authorities. 2 x Classic Brick-Red Tinting Kits and 2 x Brick-Age Kits were used for this project.

Nigel: Crockhurst, Kent, England.We used Dyebrick products for our conservation project. They also helped us choose the correct products. The results were stunning and the brick stain did not alter the properties of the brick, which produced a natural and sympathetic result, ideal for our our conservation project. I highly recommend their products. Nigel Exall

Discovering brick staining. I'd never heard of staining bricks before. Googling it, I found a few companies in Australia that provide a professional service but will not sell the materials for DIY, and eventually I came across Dyebrick's UK web site, which offered DIY kits, a very flexible product, sample pots, advice, made it look easy, and offered no fuss worldwide delivery. I emailed Dyebrick for advice on how I might stain all the bricks to match the darkest brown bricks in the wall. That more or less summarises my expectations at that time. Dyebrick soon replied suggesting a mix of two of their colours, which opened up more options for me that I had not considered and raised my expectations. I decided to try to match the bluestone in the 1880 walls instead. I ordered a selection of sample pots (charcoal, yellow stock, old english red for another project and the lightener) via the free delivery option expecting to see them in several weeks. I was therefore very pleasantly surprised to see them arrive after just 5 days. If this was typical it would fit perfectly with my schedule of working on the project over weekends only....
