What we look for in Eccles
Surveys in Eccles also cover the surrounding M30 district and towns such as Swinton and Salford. Eccles sits around 4 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.
We bring brick slip samples to Eccles surveys so you can compare them with neighbouring houses.

Planning and building control in England
Planning in Eccles 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.
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.
How is the brick slip system built up?
Insulation boards are fixed as for any EWI, followed by a reinforced base coat. The slips are bonded with the system adhesive, spaced for joints, then pointed. Corners use L-shaped slips so the edge looks like a solid brick.

Brick slip EWI in Eccles: questions
Can I mix brick slips and render?
Yes. A brick plinth or ground floor with render above is a common combination.
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.
Do you cover Eccles?
Yes — we survey and quote brick slip finishes in Eccles (M30) and nearby Swinton, Salford and Stretford, with a fixed written price before any work starts.
