Calne, Wiltshire
Brick Slip Cladding in Calne
Brick slip systems giving an authentic brick face over insulation or an existing rendered wall.
We carry out brick slip cladding across Calne and the surrounding Wiltshire area throughout the year.
Wiltshire is characterised by Bath and chalk stone cottages, Georgian townhouses and modern estates, with lime render on chalk, clunch and Bath stone in conservation areas the recurring theme on the properties we survey.
Local conditions bring a moderate inland climate with exposed downland, and that has a direct bearing on which systems are worth specifying. Chalk and clunch are extremely soft and porous, and rendering them in cement causes the stone itself to break down behind the render.
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 Calne
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.
Are brick slips expensive?
They are among the more expensive external finishes, largely due to fitting and pointing labour. Against real brick with the equivalent insulation, they usually compare well.
