Why Choose Global Plastering for Brick Slip Finishes?

Why Choose Brick Slips for Your Home

Brick slips offer the perfect bridge between classic design and contemporary energy standards. By installing these lightweight clay tiles directly over an external wall insulation system, we create a thermally broken facade that eliminates cold spots and prevents heat loss. This approach is an excellent way to improve your EPC rating and lower your energy bills. Unlike traditional brickwork, our systems are slimline and versatile, making them ideal for properties where space is at a premium or where the foundation cannot support the weight of a full masonry wall.

Specialist Cladding for Non-Traditional Builds

Many properties in the Portishead region, including non-traditional builds like Cornish units, Airey houses, or Wimpey no-fines homes, often suffer from poor thermal performance. Our team has extensive experience in applying brick slip systems to these challenging structures. By wrapping these homes in high-quality insulation and finishing with bespoke brick slips, we don't just solve issues with damp and cold walls; we modernise the entire appearance of the building. This process is fully compliant with PAS 2030 standards, ensuring your renovation is handled with the highest level of technical expertise.

Quality Assurance and Regulatory Compliance

As a business committed to excellence, we understand the importance of reliability and trust. Every brick slip installation we perform is backed by our status as a PAS 2030 accredited contractor, meaning we operate to rigorous industry standards. For added peace of mind, our external wall insulation and finishing projects come with a SWIGA insurance-backed guarantee. If you are a landlord in North Somerset looking to meet current MEES compliance regulations, our solutions provide a compliant, high-quality path to securing your property's energy efficiency rating for years to come.

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.
