Why Choose Global Plastering for Brick Slip Finishes?

Why choose brick slips for your Crickhowell property?

Many homeowners in Crickhowell face the challenge of cold, damp walls and rising energy costs, particularly in older solid wall constructions. Our brick slip systems are engineered to integrate seamlessly with external wall insulation, acting as a high-performance thermal shield. This helps to eliminate thermal bridging, reduce condensation, and dramatically lower your energy bills. By upgrading your home with our durable cladding, you not only improve its thermal comfort but also enhance your EPC rating, making it a sound long-term investment for any property owner.

How our PAS 2030 accredited installation process works

We take a systematic, professional approach to every project in Powys. Our process begins with a detailed survey to assess the structural integrity of your walls and ensure compliance with PAS 2035 retrofit standards. Once the substrate is prepared, we apply the high-grade insulation layers followed by the precise installation of your chosen brick slips. The final step involves careful pointing to replicate the traditional look of natural brickwork. Our team maintains a clean and efficient site, ensuring minimal disruption to your daily routine throughout the installation.

Meeting local regulations and building standards

Navigating building regulations and planning requirements can be daunting, but our team manages the technical complexity for you. As fully PAS 2030 accredited and CHAS registered contractors, we ensure every installation adheres to the latest UK building safety and energy efficiency standards. For those managing HMOs or rental portfolios in Crickhowell, our brick slip solutions help you meet essential MEES compliance requirements, protecting your investment and future-proofing your property against changing energy legislation.

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.
