See Dyebrick in action with Tommy Walsh. Britain's best-loved builder uses Dyebrick on his new television series:

"Tommy's Fix Your House For Free?" on Discovery Realtime.

Tommy used Dyebrick to produce a perfect match for a garage conversion project in Bedfordshire.

The series starts tonight and can be seen every Thursday night at 9.00pm and the project is

due to be aired on the 22nd October.

Dyegrout, our sister Company, was the first choice for the new 'Nike Orange' Advertising Campaign as a strong and vibrant colour was required for special tile display units. We custom matched their bright orange brand-colour with a special high-grade flourescent pigment blend.

We are also launching this new colour (called 'Nice' Orange) with our new Vibrant Tile-Grout Range early in the New Year.

Dyebrick are pleased to announce that our West Coast tour is confirmed and due to start on September 6th 2010.

We will be starting our tour in San Francisco and finishing four weeks later in Seattle.

We will be stopping off at numerous customer locations. If you’re interested in a visit from the Dyebrick team to take a look at your project, then please email us using the regular Contact Us form. There is only a limited amount of time we can stop off at locations, so book early to avoid disappointment!

Dyebrick came to the rescue when celebrity builder Tommy Walsh and his sidekick Liam Collins were having difficulty searching for bricks of a particular colour for a new television programme.

Dyebrick were approached by one of the UK’s leading independent television production companies, Flame TV, to supply and offer advice in respect to changing the brick colour to save money for a particular project in a renovation programme based on reclaimed and salvaged materials.
‘Tommy’s Fix Your House for Free?’ due to be aired on the Discovery Channel Realtime will be hosted by Tommy Walsh, Britain’s best loved builder and his sidekick Liam Collins. Liam is an expert in reclamation and sourcing of surplus and discarded building materials and is often found rummaging through skips and demolition sites ~ with the owners permission of course!
Dyebrick were able to fit the remit of the programme by allowing Tommy and Liam to choose the cheapest available bricks and then colour them to match the existing brickwork.
During the programme Tommy and Liam help a woman save £5,500 by reclaiming materials that would otherwise be discarded and by using Dyebrick they were able to make a further saving of £500. The bricks were changed from red to yellow using two Brick Tinting Kits.

Dyebrick was used as an effective red colour-wash to enhance 'Riverview Mansions' by the Thames in London.

Five of our 'Six-Packs' were used for this project. Please contact us for free advice and sample panels when using for large projects.

Dyebrick products are chosen by restoration and heritage groups to blend-in obvious extensions and repair work.

This particular project was completed 5 years ago and still looks as good as the day it was tinted. All the repair work was sympathetically disguised using Dyebrick ....and a little artistic flair!

Dyebrick wishes to thank all the customers (and their neighbours!) for their kind hospitality on our East Coast 2009 tour.

We did do a lot less miles this trip than usual and managed 18 visits this time beating our last tour by four!

We experienced temperatues  ranging from 28^oC to -10^oC on our trip from Miami, Florida to Washington, D.C. We took three days off to visit Miami and travel down to Key West.

We picked our tour bus up in Orlando, ready to start work! ~Thanks again to 'Signs Unlimited' for their quality vinyl grapics!

At the end of our tour we took two further days off to witness the inauguration of the 44th President of the United States - Barack Obama. We cycled in from just outside Arlington and managed to get a good view on the National Mall.

We would like to extend a special thank you to Aaron Leach and the other volunteers at the Salvation Army who accepted our bicycles as donations for their Adult Rehabilitation Centre in Richmond, Virginia and to Major Mary Smith for pointing us in the right direction.

Please Note: We could only store a specific amount of samples for our trip, so for those of you who requested samples when we were in Delaware, please remember to quote your 'Preference Number' when placing your order.

Three lucky winners will receive a fabulous Owloc limited edition watch!
