Maesteg, Mid Glamorgan
Brick Slip Cladding in Maesteg
Brick slip systems giving an authentic brick face over insulation or an existing rendered wall.
Getting brick slip cladding right in Maesteg depends far more on the substrate and the exposure than on the product name.
Across Mid Glamorgan, valley terraces, former colliery housing and modern estates dominates, and pebbledash and cement render failure on valley terraces is what we are called out to most often.
Maesteg sits in a part of the UK that gets high rainfall in sheltered but damp valley locations — worth factoring into any render decision. Much of the terraced stock was rendered in cement during the 1960s and 70s and is now failing en masse across the valleys.
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 Maesteg
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.
Will you need scaffolding?
For anything above single storey, yes — it is safer and produces a better finish than working off ladders or towers. Scaffold is included and itemised in the quote.
How long before I can paint new render?
Through-coloured systems need no painting at all. Sand and cement should cure for around 28 days before masonry paint goes anywhere near it.
