H+H UK is the country’s largest manufacturer of aircrete building blocks. Leading the field in research and development, we have helped transform aircrete into the versatile building material of today. H+H UK has 4 production facilities across the UK, 1 in Borough green Kent, 1 in Westbury Wiltshire and 2 at Pollington in Yorkshire with the capacity to produce well over 1 million m3 of aircrete per annum.

The manufacture of Celcon Aircrete blocks is environmentally friendly compared to many other materials. A large proportion of the product is PFA, a by-product from coal-burning power stations, which would otherwise be used in landfill. The process is also highly efficient with most waste material and energy being recycled back into the process itself.
