In direct response to your question, these bricks look like typical COMMON LONDON or FACING BRICKS originally made up from London fired clay or brickearth, a mixture of silt, chalk and ash (which gives it a slight yellow appearance) like these ones, because the location of the property is in Fulham, London.

These bricks have been cleaned up and recycled for a newly built Rear Extension Wall, parallel to the Party Wall of a Victorian Terrace House. This does not appear to be the original Party Wall between both houses but a newly built one, possibly using recycled bricks sourced and re-purposed from another part of the house.

MODERN LONDON BRICKS are mass produced and fired in industrial kilns, they are made up of a mixture of brickearth, biopolymers , industrial sludge and sawdust. the photo seems to have a slight pink tint to it so can't be 100% certain.

Hi. Are you looking at new or reclaimed bricks? Yellow/buff London stock is quite a good choice but there are a few nice ones on here. I'd look at reclaimed ones in any case http://www.cawardenreclaim.co.uk/reclaimed-buff-yellow-bricks-london-stock.html

Bricks are a fired clay product and will give you 4 hours fire resistance so do not worry about fire. If the wall is internal then no problem re heat insulation, however if the wall is an external wall then the insulation to a new wall should meet the current heat insulation standards for a dwelling.How you meet the requirements will depend on the construction. If a new structure it should have been checked by the Building Inspector. If an existing wall then check out the construction to assess where and how it can be insulated - cavity fill would be most discrete if you wish to avoid heat loss. Traditionally almost any paint can be used but will need regular freshening . if you like the bricks then simply seal them with a proprietary brick sealant and no more painting of that wall.

being a big fan of all things rustic , I would say not only leave brick but go 1 step more and make that brick wall as bold as it can be. bring back it's original brown appeal or even paint it that rustic bold brown that any brick decor deserves. that said, some pics wouldve helped a lot here because sometimes going old isn't always the best option hah
