Brick Slip Cladding in Cardigan
Brick slip systems giving an authentic brick face over insulation or an existing rendered wall.
If you are weighing up brick slip cladding in Cardigan, the starting point is what your walls are actually built from.
The prevailing picture in Dyfed is stone farmhouses, lime-washed cottages and exposed coastal housing. That means driving rain penetration on solid stone walls comes up more here than almost anywhere else.
The area sees very high rainfall with severe Atlantic exposure, which is the single biggest factor in how long any render lasts here. West wales takes the full force of atlantic weather, and lime-washed roughcast remains the traditional and technically correct answer to 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 Cardigan
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.
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.
