Why Choose Global Plastering for Brick Slip Finishes?

Why choose brick slips for your Merthyr Tydfil property?

Brick slip cladding is more than just a cosmetic upgrade; it is a vital part of a modern energy efficiency strategy. Many properties across the South Wales region suffer from high heating bills and cold, damp internal walls due to poor thermal performance. Our brick slip systems integrate seamlessly with external wall insulation, creating a continuous thermal envelope that eliminates cold spots and thermal bridging. This approach not only keeps your living space warmer during the winter months but also helps to significantly improve your property's EPC rating. It is an ideal choice for homeowners and landlords looking to meet modern efficiency standards while maintaining a traditional, attractive exterior.

Professional installation and PAS 2035 compliance

As PAS 2030 accredited installers, we pride ourselves on adhering to the highest industry standards for every project. We understand that retrofitting homes in Merthyr Tydfil requires a tailored approach, especially when dealing with solid wall construction or properties in conservation areas. Our team manages the entire process, from surface preparation and insulation board fixing to the meticulous application of brick-effect tiles and professional pointing. We ensure that every installation is fully compliant with PAS 2035 retrofit standards, giving you peace of mind that your home is safe, efficient, and built to last.

Transforming diverse property types across the region

Our expertise spans a wide range of building types, from modest bungalows and semi-detached houses to large commercial offices and HMOs. Brick slips provide a versatile, weather-resistant finish that protects your building fabric from the unpredictable Welsh weather while enhancing kerb appeal. For owners of older, solid wall properties, this system effectively solves long-standing issues with heat loss and exterior decay. By modernising your property with our high-quality brick cladding, you are investing in both long-term energy savings and a significant increase in property value.

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.
