Gateshead: walls, weather and approvals
Surveys in Gateshead also cover the surrounding NE8 district and towns such as Newcastle upon Tyne and Felling. The North East has many solid brick terraces, including former colliery housing, plus post-war council estates with some system-built homes.
Exposure to wind-driven rain varies across Tyne and Wear: 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 Gateshead surveys so you can compare them with neighbouring houses.

Permissions in England
Before quoting in Gateshead, 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 Gateshead: questions
Is a brick slip finish more expensive?
Yes — roughly £70–£120 per m² more than render, because of materials and slower installation.
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.
Do you cover Gateshead?
Yes — we survey and quote brick slip finishes in Gateshead (NE8) and nearby Newcastle upon Tyne, Felling and Gosforth, with a fixed written price before any work starts.
