Homes and walls in Newton Aycliffe
We also cover Bishop Auckland and Darlington, close to Newton Aycliffe. It's roughly 7 miles from Newton Aycliffe to Darlington, the largest town in County Durham. The North East has many solid brick terraces, including former colliery housing, plus post-war council estates with some system-built homes.
Exposure to wind-driven rain varies across County Durham: sheltered town streets fare better than walls on high ground or facing the prevailing weather, and the render, beads and cill details are chosen with that in mind.
We bring brick slip samples to Newton Aycliffe surveys so you can compare them with neighbouring houses.

Planning and building control in England
Planning in Newton Aycliffe follows England's national rules: similar-looking finishes on houses are usually permitted, while flats, commercial premises, conservation areas and streets under an Article 4 direction need an application.
Insulating or re-rendering more than half of a wall's area brings in Part L of the Building Regulations, so building control is notified and the wall is upgraded to about 0.30 W/m²K where practical.
How is the brick slip system built up?
Insulation boards are fixed as for any EWI, followed by a reinforced base coat. The slips are bonded with the system adhesive, spaced for joints, then pointed. Corners use L-shaped slips so the edge looks like a solid brick.

Brick slip EWI in Newton Aycliffe: questions
Do brick slips fall off?
Not when installed to the system manufacturer's specification, with the right adhesive, fixings and pointing.
Can I mix brick slips and render?
Yes. A brick plinth or ground floor with render above is a common combination.
Will brick slips match my neighbours' brick?
We source slips to get close in colour and texture and show samples beforehand, but an exact match to weathered brick isn't always possible.
