Prefabricated Arches

Specialist Brick Arch Services

Here at All Brick & Stone we provide a wealth of offsite solutions for brickwork arches, lintels and soffits. From typical flat gauge arches to semi circular arches, our experienced team are here to find the right solution for your project.

Originally arches were made from full size or oversized soft stock bricks, and were rubbed by hand to achieve the desired finish and size. Modern technology and manufacturing capability has enabled a cost effective way of recreating features that would be labour intensive and expensive to produce using traditional techniques.

The range of possibilities, design scope and flexibility of prefabricated brick arches are endless, and the benefits speak for themselves.

All brick faced arches are manufactured to our high-quality standards and are available with a variety of options. We work with architects, developers and clients to offer a bespoke service from initial design right through to delivery. Each project varies considerably and therefore so do our solutions—simply get in touch with us and we’ll do all we can to help.
