Homes and walls in Swinton
We cover Swinton and nearby Eccles, Walkden and Salford. It's roughly 5 miles from Swinton to Manchester, the largest town in Greater 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 Swinton.

Planning and building control in England
For a house in Swinton, 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.
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 Swinton: questions
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 brick slips fall off?
Not when installed to the system manufacturer's specification, with the right adhesive, fixings and pointing.
Do you cover Swinton?
Yes — we survey and quote brick slip finishes in Swinton (M27) and nearby Eccles, Walkden and Salford, with a fixed written price before any work starts.
