Local considerations in Farnham
We cover Farnham and nearby Aldershot, Fleet and Farnborough. It's roughly 13 miles from Farnham to Woking, the largest town in Surrey. Homes across the South East range from inter-war semis and post-war estates, which are mostly cavity-walled, to older solid-walled cottages and Victorian town terraces.
Much of Surrey 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 Farnham surveys so you can compare them with neighbouring houses.

England: planning and regulations
Planning in Farnham 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.
Insulating or re-rendering more than half of a wall's area brings in Part L of the Building Regulations, so building control is notified and the wall is upgraded to about 0.30 W/m²K where practical.
Why choose brick slips over render?
Permitted development for houses in England and Wales generally expects materials of a similar appearance to the existing walls. On a brick terrace or estate, render can change the street scene, while brick slips keep it. Some owners simply prefer the brick look.

Brick slip EWI in Farnham: 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 Farnham?
Yes — we survey and quote brick slip finishes in Farnham (GU9) and nearby Aldershot, Fleet and Farnborough, with a fixed written price before any work starts.
