Brick Slip Cladding in Christchurch
Brick slip systems giving an authentic brick face over insulation or an existing rendered wall.
We carry out brick slip cladding across Christchurch and the surrounding Dorset area throughout the year.
Most of what we see around Christchurch reflects the wider Dorset pattern — Purbeck and Portland stone, thatched cottages and substantial coastal housing, and salt exposure on seafront properties and lime work on heritage stone.
The area sees mild but exposed along the coast, which is the single biggest factor in how long any render lasts here. Seafront elevations in weymouth and swanage take salt as well as water, which attacks render bonds far faster than inland weathering.
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 Christchurch
Do I need planning permission to render my house?
Usually not on a standard house, but you will if the property is listed, in a conservation area, or if rendering would significantly change its appearance. We flag it at survey.
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.
