Brick Slip Cladding in Wigan
Brick slip systems giving an authentic brick face over insulation or an existing rendered wall.
Wigan property owners come to us for brick slip cladding for one of two reasons: something has failed, or the house looks tired.
The prevailing picture in Greater Manchester is dense Victorian terraces, mill-town housing and large postwar estates. That means persistent algae growth and damp in solid-wall terraced housing comes up more here than almost anywhere else.
The area sees high rainfall and frequently overcast conditions, which is the single biggest factor in how long any render lasts here. 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 Wigan
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.
Are you insured?
Yes — full public liability cover, and we can send the certificate before we start. We are happy to provide RAMS for commercial and contractor work.
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.
