Brick Slip Cladding in Exeter
Brick slip systems giving an authentic brick face over insulation or an existing rendered wall.
Our brick slip cladding work in Exeter starts with a free survey, because guessing at a render specification is how jobs go wrong.
Devon is characterised by cob and thatch, stone farmhouses and extensive coastal housing, with cement render on cob causing structural decay the recurring theme on the properties we survey.
Exeter sits in a part of the UK that gets high rainfall and exposed coastal conditions — worth factoring into any render decision. Cob is unforgiving — it must be finished in lime, and cement rendering over cob is one of the most damaging things that can be done to a devon property.
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 Exeter
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.
Do you offer a guarantee?
Yes. Every job carries our workmanship guarantee, and where a full manufacturer-specified system is installed you also get the system warranty on top.
What time of year is best for rendering?
Spring through autumn is ideal. Render should not be applied in frost or in very hot direct sun, so winter work needs protection and settled conditions.
