What we look for in Greenock
As well as Greenock itself, we quote in Helensburgh, Dunoon and Clydebank. It's roughly 20 miles from Greenock to Glasgow, the largest town in Greater Glasgow. West Central Scotland has sandstone tenements, interwar and post-war council housing including no-fines and other system-built types, and many harled (roughcast) houses.
Parts of Greater Glasgow 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.
Mixed finishes — brick slip below, render above — can suit semi-detached houses in Greenock.

Permissions in Scotland
Scottish householder rules mean many Greenock jobs that change the outside of a house need a planning application; we confirm the position before quoting.
Where a building warrant is needed for Greenock work, it's obtained before installation starts, and the quote says who arranges it.
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 Greenock: 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 Greenock?
Yes — we survey and quote brick slip finishes in Greenock (PA15) and nearby Helensburgh, Dunoon and Clydebank, with a fixed written price before any work starts.
