Brick Slip Cladding in March
Brick slip systems giving an authentic brick face over insulation or an existing rendered wall.
Brick Slip Cladding in March is work we take on regularly, and the Cambridgeshire housing stock is a big part of why.
Across Cambridgeshire, historic centres, extensive fenland brick and large modern developments around Cambridge and Peterborough dominates, and substrate movement on fenland ground rather than weather-driven render failure is what we are called out to most often.
Local conditions bring the driest region in the UK, and that has a direct bearing on which systems are worth specifying. Low rainfall means less algae and slower weathering, but peat and fen subsoils cause more movement cracking than anywhere else in england.
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 March
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.
Will brick slips fall off?
Not when installed on a proper carrier system with mechanical fixing as well as adhesive. Failures come from adhesive-only fixing onto unsuitable substrates.
