Homes and walls in Aberystwyth
We cover Aberystwyth and nearby Llandrindod Wells, Newtown and Carmarthen. It's roughly 51 miles from Aberystwyth to Llanelli, the largest town in Dyfed. West Wales has a high share of older solid-walled and stone homes, many in exposed coastal or rural settings.
Parts of Dyfed fall in the higher wind-driven rain exposure bands, especially coastal and upland sites, so render specification, movement joints and detailing at cills, verges and the base of the wall matter more than usual.
On brick terraces in Aberystwyth, slips can insulate the wall while keeping the street's look.

Approvals in Wales
Householder rules in Wales are similar to England's: in Aberystwyth, a similar-looking finish on a house is often permitted, but conservation areas, flats and listed buildings need permission or consent.
Welsh Building Regulations expect walls to be upgraded when a substantial area is renewed, and building control signs the work off.
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 Aberystwyth: questions
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.
Is a brick slip finish more expensive?
Yes — roughly £70–£120 per m² more than render, because of materials and slower installation.
Do brick slips fall off?
Not when installed to the system manufacturer's specification, with the right adhesive, fixings and pointing.
Do you cover Aberystwyth?
Yes — we survey and quote brick slip finishes in Aberystwyth (SY23) and nearby Llandrindod Wells, Newtown and Carmarthen, with a fixed written price before any work starts.
