Homes and walls in Stroud
Surveys in Stroud also cover the surrounding GL5 district and towns such as Gloucester and Cheltenham. Stroud is about 8 miles from Gloucester. 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 Gloucestershire: 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 Stroud.

England: planning and regulations
For a house in Stroud, 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.
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 Stroud: 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 Stroud?
Yes — we survey and quote brick slip finishes in Stroud (GL5) and nearby Gloucester, Cheltenham and Chipping Sodbury, with a fixed written price before any work starts.
