What we look for in Altrincham
We cover Altrincham and nearby Sale, Urmston and Stretford. Altrincham is about 8 miles from Manchester. The North West has one of the largest stocks of pre-1919 solid-wall terraces in England, alongside Pennine stone houses and post-war estates.
Exposure to wind-driven rain varies across Greater Manchester: 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 Altrincham.

Planning and building control in England
Planning in Altrincham 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.
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 Altrincham: questions
Is a brick slip finish more expensive?
Yes — roughly £70–£120 per m² more than render, because of materials and slower installation.
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.

Yes — we survey and quote brick slip finishes in Altrincham (WA14) and nearby Sale, Urmston and Stretford, with a fixed written price before any work starts.
