Clydach, West Glamorgan
Brick Slip Cladding in Clydach
Brick slip systems giving an authentic brick face over insulation or an existing rendered wall.
Clydach property owners come to us for brick slip cladding for one of two reasons: something has failed, or the house looks tired.
Across West Glamorgan, Victorian terraces, industrial housing and exposed coastal properties dominates, and driving rain on Gower and Swansea Bay elevations is what we are called out to most often.
Clydach sits in a part of the UK that gets very high rainfall with strong coastal exposure — worth factoring into any render decision. Swansea is among the wettest cities in the uk, and render specifications that hold up in the midlands are routinely under-specified here.
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 Clydach
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.
