Earth Blocks Ltd offers the most extensive range of preformed cob blocks and cob bricks in the UK. Our manufacturing processes of cob blocks and cob bricks are unique and unequalled. However, we’re not resting on our laurels here…..far from it! We continually push the envelope with research and development.

We reasonably understand that there is a limit to what can be achieved with just 3 natural ingredients….clayey soil, straw and water. But these somewhat humble materials can be formed into numerous shapes and sizes at our manufacturing facility.
Round edged or sharp edged, our machines can produce either
Our bespoke cob blocks and cob bricks or ‘specials’ as we like to call them, remain true to our tried and tested raw material combinations at pre-manufacture. The only difference is the shape and/or dimension.
Cob brick voussoirs – designed for arches
Ok, so where would be a point-of-use for these specials? They’re not exactly recognised within mainstream design for wall building! And you’re right, these cob products wouldn’t easily come to mind when your average architect is at the design phase. However, an expanding arena is sighted. Bespoke architectural design using sustainable materials is gaining pace and the discerned client is driving a trend toward both.
