CIRCULARITY
Our blocks are incredibly easy to use and can significantly lower your project’s carbon footprint. Made from 100% recycled materials from a range of sources as shown in the diagrams below.
Available in two colours, grey and green, QUICKBLOCK offers a versatile and eco-conscious building solution. For custom colours, please get in touch as we would be delighted to help.
As an organisation that is focused on providing sustainable solutions, we were keen to find a business that would be able to provide an alternative building material that is also sustainable.
The team at QUICKBLOCK delivered as promised and we are absolutely thrilled with the product.

The blocks are a game changer for us, work that would have taken a couple of days has taken us an afternoon, they’re so easy to use that the guys really enjoyed building with them.
We’re already looking at other projects we can use these blocks for!

HAVE SOME
QUESTIONS?
Depending on your requirements, QUICKBLOCK can be purchased by the pallet from one of our distribution partners such as B&Q, alternatively, if you have a custom project simply contact our sales team who will be happy to assist you with your plans.
The QUICKBLOCK building system comprises full blocks, half blocks, quarter blocks and capping pieces, every project is unique and therefore requires different quantities of the elements of the system to complete each project, to get an accurate quote for your project please contact our sales team.
The QUICKBLOCK system can be adapted to accommodate most roofing structures, contact our sales team who will be able to guide and advise on the best option for your specific project.
Our standard blocks are not flame retardant and are classed as an ordinary combustible just like wood and fabric however we can add a flame-retardant agent during the manufacturing process at the customers request, If you require your QUICKBLOCK to be flame retardant please speak with our sale team who will be happy to assist you.
Whether you need to infill the blocks with material such as sand or aggregate will depend on the structure you’re building, we also offer rubber block inserts and structural fixing plates our blocks can be modified to meet most requirements so speak with one of the team who will be able to advise on the best solution for you.
Concrete bricks are smaller, so you need more of them, they also require sand, cement, skilled trades people to build it for you and expensive concrete footings not to mention that when it comes time to rip it out, it’s expensive to dispose of concrete. QUICKBLOCK offers a cost-effective solution for people who want to build structures quickly and easily and who may wish to reconfigure or move the structure at a later date.
Currently we offer Olive green and grey as our standard colours, we can offer custom colours at the customer’s request which carry minimum order quantities and slightly more cost per block.
We aim to have orders delivered within 3 working days; this may be slightly longer during busy periods but we will always advise at the time of ordering with us.
At QUICKBLOCK durability is something we take very seriously that’s why we’ve taken steps to ensure our product doesn’t go brittle in the sun. During the manufacturing process we combine a UV stabilising agent with our recycled polypropylene ensuring a long lasting product even in harsh sunlight.
QUICKBLOCK is specially designed to be a temporary construction material that’s ideal for being reused and reconfigured as required and is ideal for building all kinds of temporary to semi-permanent infrastructure from garden planters to workshops and even temporary living spaces. Unfortunately QUICKBLOCK is not certified for permanent dwellings but this is something that may be possible in the future.
