Local considerations in Bournemouth
We cover Bournemouth and nearby Christchurch, Poole and New Milton. The South West has many stone and solid-walled cottages, exposed coastal properties and a share of post-war system-built houses, including types such as the Cornish Unit.
Exposure to wind-driven rain varies across Dorset: 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.
Mixed finishes — brick slip below, render above — can suit semi-detached houses in Bournemouth.

England: planning and regulations
Planning in Bournemouth 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.
Building control applies once more than half of a wall is insulated or re-rendered, or more than a quarter of the whole building envelope, and your written quote says how that's handled.
Why choose brick slips over render?
Permitted development for houses in England and Wales generally expects materials of a similar appearance to the existing walls. On a brick terrace or estate, render can change the street scene, while brick slips keep it. Some owners simply prefer the brick look.

Brick slip EWI in Bournemouth: 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.
Do you cover Bournemouth?
Yes — we survey and quote brick slip finishes in Bournemouth (BH1) and nearby Christchurch, Poole and New Milton, with a fixed written price before any work starts.
