Why Choose Global Plastering for Brick Slip Finishes?

Why combine brick slips with external wall insulation

Many older properties in South Wales suffer from significant heat loss through solid walls. As PAS 2030 accredited specialists, we often install brick slips as the final aesthetic layer of an External Wall Insulation (EWI) system. This dual-purpose solution significantly improves your home's thermal efficiency and helps boost your EPC rating. By wrapping your home in a protective, insulating layer and finishing it with genuine clay brick tiles, you achieve a professional, traditional appearance without the structural weight or cost of rebuilding with full-size bricks.

Expertise in local architectural styles

Pontycymer and the wider Bridgend region boast a rich architectural history, from terraced housing to detached family homes. We understand the importance of matching local character, which is why we offer a wide range of brick slip colours and textures. Our team has extensive experience working with solid wall renovation and non-traditional builds, ensuring that each project is managed with technical precision. We pay close attention to detail, from corner slips to mortar pointing, to ensure the finished wall is indistinguishable from traditional brickwork.

Quality assurance and professional standards

We pride ourselves on our reputation as a trusted local business. Our work is supported by SWIGA-backed guarantees and we maintain CHAS accreditation to ensure every project meets rigorous health and safety standards. Following the PAS 2035 framework, we ensure that every installation is appropriate for the specific needs of your building. We are committed to transparency, compliance, and excellence, delivering finishes that are not only visually stunning but also built to withstand the demanding Welsh weather.

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.
