Brick Slip Cladding in Oldham
Brick slip systems giving an authentic brick face over insulation or an existing rendered wall.
Our brick slip cladding work in Oldham starts with a free survey, because guessing at a render specification is how jobs go wrong.
Across Greater Manchester, dense Victorian terraces, mill-town housing and large postwar estates dominates, and persistent algae growth and damp in solid-wall terraced housing is what we are called out to most often.
With high rainfall and frequently overcast conditions, specification matters more in this part of the country than a national price list suggests. The combination of high rainfall and dense terracing means shaded rear elevations here green up faster than almost 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 Oldham
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.
How long does a rendering job take?
A typical three-bedroom semi is usually one to two weeks on site including scaffold, preparation, application and finishing. Weather, wall condition and the system chosen all move that.
