Free survey in Bath
Postcode, service and a phone number is all we need.
What's included
- Helps meet 'similar appearance' planning conditions
- Corners formed with L-shaped slips for a convincing finish
- Thin slips (typically 10–20mm) bonded to the system base coat
- Heavier than render, so more fixings are specified
What we look for in Bath
Surveys in Bath also cover the surrounding BA1 district and towns such as Trowbridge and Kingswood. The South West has many stone and solid-walled cottages, exposed coastal properties and a share of post-war system-built houses, including types such as the Cornish Unit.
Exposure to wind-driven rain varies across Somerset: 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.
On brick terraces in Bath, slips can insulate the wall while keeping the street's look.

Planning and building control in England
Before quoting in Bath, we check whether the property is in a conservation area, under an Article 4 direction or listed, because that decides whether changing the outside needs planning permission.
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.
Are brick slips real brick?
They can be — cut or manufactured clay slips — or concrete and flexible polymer slips designed to look like brick. Clay slips are heavier and need systems rated for that weight.

Brick slip EWI in Bath: 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 Bath?
Yes — we survey and quote brick slip finishes in Bath (BA1) and nearby Trowbridge, Kingswood and Mangotsfield, with a fixed written price before any work starts.
