Why Choose Global Plastering for Brick Slip Finishes?

How Brick Slips Transform Your Property

Brick slips consist of thin, real clay or acrylic facings that mimic the look of traditional brickwork without the weight or structural requirements of a full masonry wall. We typically install these as a premium finish for external wall insulation systems. This process not only refreshes the exterior of your home but also adds a significant layer of thermal protection, reducing heat loss through your walls. It is an ideal choice for solid wall properties, terraced houses, and non-traditional structures that need both an aesthetic lift and improved insulation performance.

Why Choose Brick Slips for Your Vale of Glamorgan Home

Choosing brick slips for your renovation project allows you to maintain the architectural character of the Vale of Glamorgan while meeting modern energy standards. These systems are highly effective at preventing damp and thermal bridging, which are common issues in older housing. By integrating these finishes with our PAS 2030 accredited installation process, we help you improve your property's EPC rating and reduce your monthly energy bills. It is a cost-effective alternative to traditional repointing or brickwork, requiring minimal maintenance once installed.

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.
