Brick Slip Cladding in Antrim
Brick slip systems giving an authentic brick face over insulation or an existing rendered wall.
Brick Slip Cladding in Antrim is work we take on regularly, and the Antrim housing stock is a big part of why.
Across Antrim, Victorian brick terraces, harled cottages and postwar estates dominates, and driving rain and dash render failure on exposed elevations is what we are called out to most often. Antrim sits in a part of the UK that gets wet with strong Atlantic and Irish Sea exposure — worth factoring into any render decision.
Local factor. Dash render is close to universal on northern irish housing, and matching existing dash is the most common requirement on repair work.
Is brick slip cladding right for a Antrim property?
Choose brick slips where planning, conservation or street character require a brick face, or where you want brick detailing over an insulated wall.
That decision gets made at the survey, not on the phone. We will tell you plainly if a different system would serve the building better — including when a cheaper one would.

FAQs
Brick Slip Cladding in Antrim — questions
Can you render over existing render?
Sometimes, if the existing coat is completely sound and well-bonded. We hammer-test it first. Anything hollow has to come off, because covering failure just hides it.
Are you insured?
Yes — full public liability cover, and we can send the certificate before we start. We are happy to provide RAMS for commercial and contractor work.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, with teams across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. If we are not the right firm for your location we will tell you rather than waste your time.
Do brick slips look like real brick?
Yes — they are real brick, just cut thin. Once fitted with matching corner slips and properly pointed, they are very difficult to distinguish from solid brickwork at normal viewing distance.
Are brick slips expensive?
They are among the more expensive external finishes, largely due to fitting and pointing labour. Against real brick with the equivalent insulation, they usually compare well.
How much does rendering cost?
It is priced by the square metre and depends on the system, the condition of the walls and access. Our guide-price tool gives an indicative range in about a minute, and the survey turns that into a fixed written quote.
