Brick Slip Cladding in Loughborough
Brick slip systems giving an authentic brick face over insulation or an existing rendered wall.
Loughborough property owners come to us for brick slip cladding for one of two reasons: something has failed, or the house looks tired.
Across Leicestershire, Victorian brick terraces, ironstone villages and substantial modern estates dominates, and render repair on estate housing and lime work on ironstone villages is what we are called out to most often.
With a moderate, relatively dry inland climate, specification matters more in this part of the country than a national price list suggests. 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.
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 Loughborough
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.
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.
