Why Choose Global Plastering for Brick Slip Finishes?

Why Choose Brick Slips for Your Property Renovation

Brick slips are an ideal finishing choice for those undertaking external wall insulation projects. They provide the classic look of traditional masonry while allowing us to integrate high-performance insulation boards behind the finish. This combination effectively tackles heat loss and thermal bridging, which are common issues in older Gorseinon houses. By opting for our brick effect tiles, you get the visual charm of a brick-built home alongside the modern benefits of improved energy efficiency and lower utility bills.

Quality and safety sit at the heart of everything we do. Our team operates as PAS 2030 accredited installers, ensuring that every project is managed to strict PAS 2035 retrofit standards. We understand the unique challenges posed by various property types, from non-traditional builds to historic dwellings across South Wales. By choosing our services, you receive the reassurance of SWIGA insurance-backed guarantees, protecting your investment and ensuring your home meets the highest industry benchmarks for performance and safety.

Is Brick Cladding Suitable for Your Home in Swansea

Many residents in Gorseinon and across Swansea ask whether brick slips are suitable for their specific building type. Our brick cladding is versatile enough for bungalows, solid wall properties, and commercial buildings alike. Because these slips are lightweight yet durable, they provide a robust exterior that protects your property from the elements while offering superior low-maintenance benefits compared to traditional render or exposed brickwork that may require frequent repointing.

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.
