Homes and walls in Derby
As well as Derby itself, we quote in Belper, Ilkeston and Heanor. Housing in the East Midlands includes Victorian terraces in the towns and cities, plenty of inter-war semis and post-war council estates, some of them system-built.
Exposure to wind-driven rain varies across Derbyshire: 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 Derby surveys so you can compare them with neighbouring houses.

England: planning and regulations
For a house in Derby, external insulation or render is often permitted development if it looks similar to the existing walls; conservation areas, flats, commercial buildings and listed buildings need permission or consent, so we check your address first.
If the work covers more than half of a wall, or a quarter of the building's whole envelope, it counts as renovating a thermal element, with a target of about 0.30 W/m²K where feasible.
Are brick slips real brick?
They can be — cut or manufactured clay slips — or concrete and flexible polymer slips designed to look like brick. Clay slips are heavier and need systems rated for that weight.

Brick slip EWI in Derby: questions
Can I mix brick slips and render?
Yes. A brick plinth or ground floor with render above is a common combination.
Is a brick slip finish more expensive?
Yes — roughly £70–£120 per m² more than render, because of materials and slower installation.
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.
Do you cover Derby?
Yes — we survey and quote brick slip finishes in Derby (DE1) and nearby Belper, Ilkeston and Heanor, with a fixed written price before any work starts.
