Brick Slip Cladding in Shrewsbury
Brick slip systems giving an authentic brick face over insulation or an existing rendered wall.
Our brick slip cladding work in Shrewsbury starts with a free survey, because guessing at a render specification is how jobs go wrong.
The prevailing picture in Shropshire is timber framing, sandstone cottages and rural farm buildings. That means lime render on timber-frame and sandstone in a conservation-heavy county comes up more here than almost anywhere else.
Shrewsbury sits in a part of the UK that gets moderate rainfall with exposed upland conditions in the south — worth factoring into any render decision. Ludlow and shrewsbury hold large concentrations of listed timber-framed buildings where only lime specifications will get consent.
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 Shrewsbury
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.
