What the job covers
- Corners formed with L-shaped slips for a convincing finish
- Heavier than render, so more fixings are specified
- Helps meet 'similar appearance' planning conditions
- Thin slips (typically 10–20mm) bonded to the system base coat
Homes and walls in Lincoln
We cover Lincoln and nearby Gainsborough, Newark-on-Trent and Retford. Housing in the East Midlands includes Victorian terraces in the towns and cities, plenty of inter-war semis and post-war council estates, some of them system-built.
Much of Lincolnshire 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 Lincoln surveys so you can compare them with neighbouring houses.

Permissions in England
Planning in Lincoln 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.
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 Lincoln: questions
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 brick slips fall off?
Not when installed to the system manufacturer's specification, with the right adhesive, fixings and pointing.
Do you cover Lincoln?
Yes — we survey and quote brick slip finishes in Lincoln (LN2) and nearby Gainsborough, Newark-on-Trent and Retford, with a fixed written price before any work starts.
