Why Choose Global Plastering for Brick Slip Finishes?

The Installation Process for Your Property

Our service begins with a comprehensive retrofit survey to assess your home's unique requirements and current thermal performance. We focus on meticulous surface preparation to ensure the structural integrity of the application. The process involves the precision installation of high-quality clay slips directly over insulation or substrate boards, followed by expert pointing to achieve an authentic brickwork finish. This technique is designed to provide long-term weather protection and thermal stability, ensuring your home stays warmer for longer.

Boost Thermal Efficiency and EPC Ratings

Integrating brick slips as part of an external wall insulation project is one of the most effective ways to improve the energy performance certificate rating of a property. By addressing heat loss through solid walls, our systems help tackle draughts and cold walls that often plague older homes in South Wales. Meeting these modern energy standards is not only essential for comfort but is also vital for landlords and property owners looking to comply with the latest MEES regulations and decarbonisation targets.

Are Brick Slips Suitable for My Building Type?

Brick slip cladding is an incredibly versatile solution suitable for a wide range of building types, including detached, semi-detached, and terrace houses. We are experts in dealing with complex property types, including concrete structures and non-traditional builds that often struggle with thermal bridging. While many projects fall under permitted development, we always advise checking with local Rhondda Cynon Taf planning authorities if your property is listed or located within a sensitive conservation area.

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.
