What we look for in Thornaby-on-Tees
As well as Thornaby-on-Tees itself, we quote in Stockton-on-Tees, Billingham and Middlesbrough. Thornaby-on-Tees sits around 41 miles from York. Yorkshire's housing includes stone and brick terraces, back-to-backs in parts of West Yorkshire, and post-war estates with steel-framed and concrete house types.
Exposure to wind-driven rain varies across North Yorkshire: 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 Thornaby-on-Tees surveys so you can compare them with neighbouring houses.

Planning and building control in England
For a house in Thornaby-on-Tees, 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.

Will brick slips match my neighbours' brick?

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.
