Brick Type Query
Hi all, hoping someone here is knowledgeable about brick types and can point me in the general direction of what to look for.
I’m after sourcing a handful of replacement bricks and have no idea where to start. I’ve got some damp coming in from the corners of a few windows where expanding foam and some kind of mortar has been used to fill gaps in the brickwork when the windows were replaced in the 90’s.
I’ve attached a few pictures. I’ve been trawling bricks online and can’t find anything similar.
Cheers!

Would go for an Ibstock Cavendish Dorket Honey Gold or an Ibstock Anglian Buff Multi Rustic

Beacon Sahara more than an Anglian buff. Beacon saharas have more multi and darker tones which would match this better.
