About Us

Construction Cosmetics Ltd, we are leaders in our field and utilises the brick-and-mortar tinting technique developed in the middle of the twentieth century by our parent company, W. Hawley & Son Ltd. which was formed in 1839.

This brick tinting and mortar tinting process has been used successfully throughout Europe to eliminate colour inconsistencies in brickwork and masonry. Tinting is undertaken on a job-by-job basis, as no two site requirements are the same.

With the ability to create virtually unlimited shades we have every confidence that are fully trained technicians can resolve any colour matching problem you may encounter. This type of brick tinting and mortar tinting process is suitable for use on most bricks, mortar, natural and artificial stone.

Established in 1982 as the pioneers of the art of corrective brick tinting and mortar tinting the name Construction Cosmetics became synonymous with this type of service, extending throughout the length and breadth of construction-based industries.

It was however many years before the formation of Construction Cosmetics Ltd that our parent company developed this process by which a seamless joint could be made in brickwork and masonry products to eliminate inconsistencies caused by manufacturer’s variations, poor site practices and the effect of weathering.

Construction Cosmetics Ltd as the UK’s driving force behind these types of services, has been successful in helping to establish similar operations in Derby, Nottingham, UK, Europe and beyond.

Employee development and training is very much our company’s ethos. Significant time and resources are committed to employee brick tinting training to ensure that the horror stories, that do occasionally tarnish this sector of the UK economy, are not committed by Construction Cosmetics Ltd trained personnel.

Frequent use of customer feedback energises the team to provide the best possible brick tinting and mortar tinting service from initial enquiry to project completion. As a result, the majority of our company’s new client list is derived from recommendation.
