High-Strength Concrete Masonry Blocks

These high-strength concrete blocks are a dependable and versatile option for a wide range of building projects, whether you’re extending your home, renovating, or building from scratch. Manufactured using natural aggregates, they offer excellent strength, durability and long-term performance you can rely on.

Available in solid, cellular and hollow designs, these blocks give you flexibility depending on your project needs. Their close textured surface makes them ideal for plastering, rendering or dry lining, and some options can even be left exposed and painted for a neat, finished look. The neutral concrete buff colour suits both modern and traditional builds.

With strength ratings ranging from 7.3N/mm² to 22.5N/mm², these blocks are suitable for both structural and non-structural uses. They are also high-density, helping to reduce noise transfer between rooms and neighbouring spaces — perfect for creating quieter, more comfortable homes.

Customer reviews

We’re so grateful for our amazing customers! Their kind words and honest feedback mean the world to us. Every review helps us get better and reminds us why we do what we do.

Rose

The Stotto Team are always there to help us with what ever sized project we have. It could be a simple renovation with a kitchen from Howdens all the way through to a complete extension and overhaul. They are well worth a try and will always go out of their way to solve a problem and get the job done.

Julie

We love our new extension. It is great that Stotto can handle design as well, we didn’t use this as I’d already had it done before we decided to use them, but it means they understand design as well as just building. I am impressed with how nice our team , and the other trades that came in were. Our team felt like part of the family. I must also say that if I had been a single woman living alone I would have felt very comfortable having them in the house. Why not 5 stars….you really can’t give anyone 5 stars……

Nick Lee-Shield

Me and my wife couldn’t recommend the team at Stotto enough! They really helped with making those small but ever so important decisions and their advice was invaluable
