Brick Slip Cladding in Braintree
Brick slip systems giving an authentic brick face over insulation or an existing rendered wall.
Brick Slip Cladding in Braintree is work we take on regularly, and the Essex housing stock is a big part of why.
The prevailing picture in Essex is weatherboarded cottages, extensive interwar and postwar estates and coastal housing. That means pebbledash removal on interwar semis and render repair on estuary properties comes up more here than almost anywhere else.
Braintree sits in a part of the UK that gets one of the drier counties with coastal exposure to the east — worth factoring into any render decision. The county has an unusually high concentration of 1930s pebbledashed semis, which is why removal and re-render is the dominant job type here.
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 Braintree
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.
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.
