H+H is the UK’s largest manufacturer of aircrete products. We manufacture the market leading range of Celcon Blocks, including Foundation Blocks, Plus Blocks and the H+H range of aircrete products.
H+H aircrete products offer a complete building material that meets the requirements of the Building Regulations, with the flexibility to offer solutions to hospitals, schools, offices, industrial warehouses and housing (social and private).
Used in partition, separating and external walls (solid or cavity), firewalls and as an infill to framed construction, our products provide durability and fire resistance as well as superb thermal and sound insulation.
Main Product Ranges:
Celcon Blocks
Celcon Blocks in Solar, Standard, High Strength and Super Strength Grades are the most commonly used aircrete block in the H+H range. All Celcon Blocks are BBA certified, are fire resistant (100mm walls, up to 4 hours, 2 hours if loadbearing) and have been classified 0 surface spread of flame and non-combustible to Class A1 (the highest class).
Celcon Block Solar Grade
Celcon Blocks Solar Grade is principally used where enhanced thermal performance is required. With superior thermal conductivity Solar Grade Celcon Blocks are suitably loadbearing for two storey buildings and can be used below DPC.
Celcon Block Standard Grade
Celcon Blocks Standard Grade is BBA certified and has a compressive strength of 3.6N/mm2. Due to its all round performance, it is possible for a 100mm Standard grade Celcon Block to be used throughout a build, eliminating on-site confusion.
Celcon Block High Strength & Super Strength Grade
H+H’s Celcon Blocks High Strength Grade (7.3N/mm2) and Super Strength Grade (8.7N/mm2) are used principally where higher compressive strengths are required such as in the foundations and lower storeys of three storey buildings, piers under high vertical loads and in multi-storey buildings.
Celcon Plus Blocks
Celcon Plus Blocks are an alternative to the 440 x 215mm face format block and are suitable for the same applications. They are longer at 630mm long and come in a variety of thicknesses.
Celcon Foundation Blocks
Available in Standard Grade (3.6N/mm²) and High Strength Grade (7.3N/mm²), Foundation Blocks can be used to support 3 storey constructions. They are suitable for the support of solid or cavity walls, framed construction or suspended floors, including beam and block.
Beam & Block Floorblock
Beam and Block floors are constructed using Celcon Blocks. They are lightweight, so easier, quicker and safer to lay and allow for an economy of scale and reduction in laying times.
Multi Plates
H+H Multi Plates are a new generation of aircrete products that build on the efficiency of thin layer construction. At over 2 times the size of a traditional (440 x 215mm) block, Multi Plates and the Thin-Joint system will deliver significant savings in site productivity.
Jumbo Bloks
Jumbo Bloks are produced with the latest technology, offering a high degree of dimensional accuracy with sharp arises, which make them ideal for use with Celfix mortar.
Celcon Block Coursing Units
Coursing Units are produced from the same material as all H+H aircrete and are suitable for the same applications as conventional size Celcon Blocks, allowing consistency within the building fabric.
Celfix Mortar
Celfix Mortar is cement based and supplied as a dry, pre-mixed powder in 25kg bags. It has been designed to replace the traditional sand:cement mortar and is used with building with our Thin-Joint System. Celfix Mortar starts to set within 10 minutes of application and approaches full design strength in just 1 to 2 hours.

H+H Celcon Blocks Keep the Heat in Shrewsbury
A total of 175 new homes comprising of two, three, four and five bedrooms will be delivered as part of the Sweetlake Meadow development at Longden Road, Shrewsbury, supported by H+H Foundation Blocks.
As sustainability was so important on this project, SJ Roberts chose to specify H+H Ltd Celcon Foundation Blocks.Buyer Oliver Heighway said: “The sustainability of H+H’s Aircrete Blocks speak for themselves and aligns well with our Timber Frame Construction and the inherent ecological benefits this provides, from sourcing of materials through to whole lifetime costs to the end user with reduced energy running costs.
“We’ve worked closely with H+H UK for many years and have established a good working relationship. Communication has always been a key part of this relationship, especially given previous supply issues with Aircrete products.
“Specifying H+H Ltd Celcon Foundation Blocks was therefore an easy decision, with guaranteed allocation from the manufacturer and stock locally, H+H can fulfil supply requirements through a number of avenues, which is imperative given time constraints of any given development.
”Calfordseaden, an independent construction and property consultancy firm, conducted a Foundation Cost Comparison Study, which identified that constructing foundations using aircrete blocks is more cost effective than dense aggregate alternatives. The study, which used a typical three-bedroom semi-detached UK home, showed that changing the foundations to aircrete alone could reduce total build costs by almost 25%. This is achieved through aircrete’s naturally quicker build speed which leads to reduced labour costs and the solid construction means that fewer materials are needed.
Aircrete blocks are often overlooked for use as foundation materials, however the underestimation of their load-bearing capabilities means dense aggregate blocks are needlessly specified, adding to the total cost of the build. Weighing only a third of the equivalent dense aggregate block, aircrete blocks are easier to transport, manipulate and lay on site. They also offer enhanced freeze/thaw durability and protection against sulphate attack, making them an ideal solution for foundations in Britain’s cold and wet winter months.
Aircrete is already commonly used throughout Europe and now more and more UK firms are realising the benefits of making the switch away from dense aggregate blocks. As the UK’s largest manufacturer of aircrete, H+H are able to provide technical information for contractors thinking of using aircrete for their next project.

H+H Celcon Blocks Used in Popular New Cheshire Development
Nantwich based property management firm Slater Homes Limited have recently completed an exclusive development in the delightful village of Bunbury in Cheshire using H+H Celcon Blocks. The five new luxury homes each have four bedrooms and already sold for in excess of £500,000 before the build was even completed.
The rural location presented a number of challenges for delivering the materials to site so local merchant Travis Perkins worked closely with contractor Slater Homes Limited to deliver the H+H Celcon Blocks in allocated time slots.
Slater Homes Limited said: “We were very happy to use the H+H Celcon Blocks as specified by the architect on the project, Stewart Thorley. Local supplier Travis Perkins in Nantwich always stock H+H Celcon Blocks so I knew the product could be relied upon to do a good job.
“The blocks were very easy to use and allowed us to build incredibly quickly – delivering great cost savings for us a small housebuilder.
”H+H Standard Grade Blocks were used in each of the five properties. Celcon Blocks are BBA certified, fire resistant (Up to 4 hours on 100mm walls or up to 2 hours if loadbearing) and have been classified 0 surface spread of flame and non-combustible to Class A1 (the highest class). Celcon Blocks are available in thicknesses from 75mm to 215mm.
H+H Celcon Blocks are also more resistant to sulfate attack than dense aggregate concrete blocks and increased protection from spalling – where blocks crack under the stress of constant freeze/thaw cycles during Britain’s cold and wet winter months.
Where they differ from their competitors however is through their superior thermal performance.
By using H+H Celcon Blocks in this new development, Slater Thomas were able to achieve u-values of 0.2w/m2k with a 125mm cavity.
Linear thermal bridging is a major source of heat loss and the use of aircrete has a major benefit in reducing this by leakage through the masonry into the roof, floors and external walls. Heat loss from junctions can now account for as much as 30% of the heat lost through the fabric of a building. It is therefore becoming increasingly important for housebuilders to consider the thermal performance of the building materials they are using.
