Why Choose Global Plastering for Brick Slip Finishes?

Why combine brick slips with external wall insulation?

Many older properties in Watchet suffer from poor thermal performance, leading to cold internal walls and rising heating bills. Our brick slip systems act as a protective skin that does more than just improve the kerb appeal of your property. When installed alongside external wall insulation, these finishes create a continuous thermal barrier that significantly reduces heat loss. This approach is particularly effective for solid-wall homes, concrete builds, and non-traditional structures that struggle to retain warmth. By improving your EPC rating, you not only enjoy a more comfortable living environment throughout the winter but also add long-term value to your asset.

Expert installation for diverse Somerset property types

Our team understands the unique architectural character of Somerset, from historic homes to newer residential developments. We are highly experienced in applying brick slips to a wide variety of building types, including detached houses, semi-detached homes, bungalows, and even larger commercial warehouses. As PAS 2030 accredited installers, we ensure that every project is delivered in strict accordance with PAS 2035 retrofit standards. This commitment ensures that your property receives the correct technical solution, mitigating risks like condensation or thermal bridging while maintaining the structural integrity of your building.

Quality assurance and professional standards

Trust is at the core of everything we do at Global Plastering. We provide peace of mind through industry-leading accreditations, including SWIGA insurance-backed guarantees on our insulation and cladding projects. As a fully insured company with licensed waste carrier status, we manage your project from initial assessment to final inspection with total professionalism.

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!"

M. Lewis (Cardiff)

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.
