Brick Slip Cladding in Cottesmore
Brick slip systems giving an authentic brick face over insulation or an existing rendered wall.
Brick Slip Cladding in Cottesmore is work we take on regularly, and the Rutland housing stock is a big part of why.
The prevailing picture in Rutland is limestone and ironstone cottages and village housing. That means lime render on soft local stone in a heavily conservation-controlled county comes up more here than almost anywhere else.
Local conditions bring a dry inland climate, and that has a direct bearing on which systems are worth specifying. England's smallest county is almost entirely built in soft local limestone and ironstone, so lime is the default rather than the exception.
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 Cottesmore
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.
