Brick Slip Cladding in Glasgow
Brick slip systems giving an authentic brick face over insulation or an existing rendered wall.
Getting brick slip cladding right in Glasgow depends far more on the substrate and the exposure than on the product name.
Lanarkshire is characterised by sandstone tenements, Victorian terraces and large postwar estates, with tenement harling repair and failed cement render on sandstone the recurring theme on the properties we survey.
The area sees wet with cold winters and frost cycling, which is the single biggest factor in how long any render lasts here. Glasgow's sandstone tenements were harled traditionally, and the cement repairs applied in the twentieth century are now the main source of failure.
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 Glasgow
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.
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.
