Why Choose Global Plastering for Brick Slip Finishes?

How Our Brick Cladding Process Works

Our installation begins with a comprehensive retrofit survey to assess your property current thermal performance and structural requirements. Following this, we meticulously prepare the wall surfaces to ensure long-term durability and adhesion. We then apply precision-cut clay slips over a specialised insulation system, finished with expert pointing to mimic the look of traditional masonry. This approach is ideal for both retrofitting older dwellings and upgrading the visual appeal of newer commercial buildings.

Why choose brick slips for your home insulation

Opting for brick slips as part of an external wall insulation project offers a dual benefit of aesthetic charm and significant heat loss reduction. By adding a robust thermal layer to solid-wall or concrete homes, including Airey and Cornish units, we can drastically lower your energy bills and resolve issues with penetrating damp. Furthermore, these finishes help improve your property energy performance certificate rating, ensuring you stay ahead of MEES compliance standards if you are a landlord.

Local Compliance and Expert Installation Standards

As PAS 2030 accredited installers, we prioritise safety, quality, and regulatory compliance in every project across South Wales. We understand the specific planning considerations within Rhondda Cynon Taf and can guide you through the process if your property sits within a conservation area or requires specific permissions. All our work is supported by SWIGA insurance-backed guarantees, providing you with total peace of mind regarding the longevity of your investment.

Frequently Asked Questions about Brick Slips

Many of our clients ask whether brick slips are suitable for internal feature walls as well as exteriors; the answer is yes, they are highly versatile for interior design. Another common query relates to planning permission, which is often categorised as permitted development, though we always recommend checking local Rhondda Cynon Taf guidelines before starting. If you are looking to combine this with other energy upgrades, we also offer silicone rendering and internal wall insulation to provide a full-house solution.

What Our Clients Say About Global Plastering

"Excellent work the team removing our old 1970's cladding and replacing it with insulation and a rendered finish. The job went smooth from start to finish with all old materials removed from site. We are very pleased with the end result and would thoroughly recommend Global Plastering."

A. Jenkins (Ferndale)

"Dilwyn and his team were brilliant and made a lovely job of our EWI. They were very friendly, hard-working, and left no mess at the end of each day. Our house looks great and we can definitely feel the benefits of the insulation already. I'm very glad we chose EWI especially with energy costs as they are now."

G. Toogood (Bristol)

"Charlotte and the team were professional, reliable, and excellent at communicating throughout. They did a fantastic job of skimming and rendering the back of our house during our renovation. Superb quality of work and highly recommended!"

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about our PAS 2030 accredited brick slip finishes and external wall insulation services in South Wales and South West England and the surrounding areas.

Do brick slips look like real bricks?

+

Yes, because they are real bricks. They are made by kiln-firing clay just like a standard brick, but they are cut into thin profiles. Once they are installed and pointed with mortar, it is impossible to tell the difference between a brick slip finish and a traditional load-bearing brick wall.

Are brick slips suitable for Victorian houses in South Wales?

+

They are an excellent choice for Victorian renovations. Many of these homes suffer from damp and cold because of their solid stone or brick walls. Brick slips allow you to add modern insulation to the exterior while perfectly replicating the original masonry style, keeping the house's character intact while making it much warmer.

How long does it take to install a brick slip system?

+

While it takes slightly longer than a standard render finish because each tile is laid individually, most domestic projects are completed within two to three weeks. This includes the time needed for the insulation boards to be fixed, the adhesive to cure, and the final pointing to be done.

Will this help stop damp and mould in my house?

+

In most cases, yes. Many damp issues in older homes are caused by "cold bridging," where warm, moist air inside the house hits a freezing cold external wall and turns into condensation. By insulating the outside of the wall with a brick slip system, you keep the wall surface warm, which helps eliminate the conditions where mould grows.

Is planning permission required for brick slips?

+

In many cases, EWI falls under "permitted development," but it depends on your local council and the type of property. If you are changing the appearance of the front of your house significantly, or if you live in a conservation area, you might need permission. We can help advise you on this during our initial survey.
