Homes and walls in Wishaw
As well as Wishaw itself, we quote in Motherwell, Hamilton and Bellshill. It's roughly 10 miles from Wishaw to East Kilbride, the largest town in Lanarkshire. 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.
Exposure to wind-driven rain varies across Lanarkshire: 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 Wishaw surveys so you can compare them with neighbouring houses.

Planning and building control in Scotland
For Wishaw properties, flats and tenements need planning permission for external insulation, and a noticeable change of finish on a house often does too under Scottish rules.
Over-cladding work in Scotland often needs a building warrant from the council's building standards service, with Section 6 of the Technical Handbooks setting insulation benchmarks.
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 Wishaw: 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.
Is a brick slip finish more expensive?
Yes — roughly £70–£120 per m² more than render, because of materials and slower installation.
Do you cover Wishaw?
Yes — we survey and quote brick slip finishes in Wishaw (ML2) and nearby Motherwell, Hamilton and Bellshill, with a fixed written price before any work starts.
