What's included
- Clay, concrete or flexible acrylic slips available
- Thin slips (typically 10–20mm) bonded to the system base coat
- Corners formed with L-shaped slips for a convincing finish
- Heavier than render, so more fixings are specified
Before we quote in Acton
We also cover Chiswick and Shepherds Bush, close to Acton. London's housing includes a large stock of Victorian and Edwardian solid-wall terraces, inter-war semis and post-war blocks, and conservation areas cover many streets — so planning is often the first question for external work.
Much of Greater London sits in the lower wind-driven rain exposure bands, which keeps the choice of finishes wide — though hilltop, coastal and exposed gable walls can still need a tougher specification, so we check the actual site.
We bring brick slip samples to Acton surveys so you can compare them with neighbouring houses.

Approvals in England
For a house in Acton, 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.
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.
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 Acton: questions
Do brick slips fall off?
Not when installed to the system manufacturer's specification, with the right adhesive, fixings and pointing.
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.
Can I mix brick slips and render?
Yes. A brick plinth or ground floor with render above is a common combination.
Do you cover Acton?
Yes — we survey and quote brick slip finishes in Acton (W3) and nearby Chiswick, Shepherds Bush and Willesden, with a fixed written price before any work starts.
