This is a standard concrete brick and should be available at most masonry supply houses

@Pavan123... just to update you. I've spent the best part of a week (not full days of course - just few hours here and there when I can!) cleaning the wall up. It was COVERED in old render and dust - thick chunks of it in most places. The mortar pointing was like sand as well. So I got a water spray and a putty knife (or a flat edge wallpaper scraper would do) with a dust mask and goggles on and just scraped off what I could whilst spraying water over it to keep the dust to a minimum. Then i manually scraped out the top of the pointing then scrubbed it all with a stiff brush and warm soapy water (I should have used sugar soap) then rinsed it off. Now it's ready to re-point and I will give it a final clean/wipe down after the pointing sets as there are only some parts with the white dust on. I could get brick acid on it but I kind of like the old look so don't want them to be TOO clean and new looking! LOL. My wall is a bit of a mess though to be fair. Will post a pic up later. Whoever built it must have used any old broken bricks lying around as there are chunks missing out of some, some rows are all split bricks etc. Might remove a few and put full ones back we saved.

You can remove it but it will be a lot of work to restore it to the same quality as the rest of the house frontage. Most likely they rendered to cover damaged bricks. So to restore you will have to take off the render, clean the bricks which may need chemically cleaning to remove the render. Then some bricks will have to be chopped out and replaced which will mean finding salvaged bricks. Lastly this area will likely need repointing. So it can be done but personally I would buy some topiary and put it in front of the rendered bit.

Are you able to post a photo showing the entire house? Just then it's easier to get the overall idea and do mockups of what different colours might look like.

Hi - a year ago my builders blew a couple of my bricks at the front of my house and replaced them but used concrete instead of mortar + builders sand. Result looks horrible. Also one of bricks is chipped. How can I fix this? Repair brick with filler and then simply go over the concrete with mortar + sand mix? Not sure if i can rak the concrete out don't want to crack the other bricks? Thanks, Matt
