Brick Slip Cladding in Westhill
Brick slip systems giving an authentic brick face over insulation or an existing rendered wall.
Getting brick slip cladding right in Westhill depends far more on the substrate and the exposure than on the product name.
Across Aberdeenshire, granite terraces, farm cottages and exposed coastal housing dominates, and harling repair on granite and frost damage on exposed elevations is what we are called out to most often.
The area sees cold, exposed North Sea conditions with severe frost, which is the single biggest factor in how long any render lasts here. Aberdeen granite is dense and unforgiving, and traditional harling rather than smooth render is what has historically worked on it.
When brick slip cladding is the right call. Choose brick slips where planning, conservation or street character require a brick face, or where you want brick detailing over an insulated wall.

FAQs
Brick Slip Cladding in Westhill
Will you need scaffolding?
For anything above single storey, yes — it is safer and produces a better finish than working off ladders or towers. Scaffold is included and itemised in the quote.
How long before I can paint new render?
Through-coloured systems need no painting at all. Sand and cement should cure for around 28 days before masonry paint goes anywhere near it.
Do you take a deposit?
For most domestic jobs we take a deposit to cover materials and scaffold, with the balance on completion. Terms are set out clearly in the written quote.
Can you match my existing render?
Usually, yes. We colour and texture match as closely as we can, though weathered render never matches a fresh batch exactly — we will be honest about how visible a patch will be.
Can brick slips go over insulation?
Yes, that is one of their main uses. Purpose-made carrier systems fix over EWI boards and take the slips mechanically as well as adhesively.
