Brick Slip Cladding in Kettering
Brick slip systems giving an authentic brick face over insulation or an existing rendered wall.
Brick Slip Cladding in Kettering is work we take on regularly, and the Northamptonshire housing stock is a big part of why.
Most of what we see around Kettering reflects the wider Northamptonshire pattern — ironstone and limestone villages, Victorian brick and extensive modern development, and lime work on ironstone and monocouche on new-build estates.
With a moderate, drier inland climate, specification matters more in this part of the country than a national price list suggests. The local ironstone is soft and highly porous, and cement render on it traps moisture and accelerates the stone's decay.
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 Kettering
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.
