Brick Slip Cladding in Leicestershire
Brick slip systems giving an authentic brick face over insulation or an existing rendered wall.
Our brick slip cladding work in Leicestershire starts with a free survey, because guessing at a render specification is how jobs go wrong.
Leicestershire is characterised by Victorian brick terraces, ironstone villages and substantial modern estates, with render repair on estate housing and lime work on ironstone villages the recurring theme on the properties we survey. Leicestershire sits in a part of the UK that gets a moderate, relatively dry inland climate — worth factoring into any render decision.
Local factor. The ironstone belt running through the east of the county needs lime, while the city and its suburbs are conventional brick suited to modern systems.
Is brick slip cladding right for a Leicestershire property?
Choose brick slips where planning, conservation or street character require a brick face, or where you want brick detailing over an insulated wall.
That decision gets made at the survey, not on the phone. We will tell you plainly if a different system would serve the building better — including when a cheaper one would.

FAQs
Brick Slip Cladding in Leicestershire — questions
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.
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.
