Before we quote in Newcastle upon Tyne
We also cover Gateshead and Gosforth, close to Newcastle upon Tyne. 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 Newcastle upon Tyne surveys so you can compare them with neighbouring houses.

Planning and building control in England
For a house in Newcastle upon Tyne, 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.
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 Newcastle upon Tyne: 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.
Is a brick slip finish more expensive?
Yes — roughly £70–£120 per m² more than render, because of materials and slower installation.
Do you cover Newcastle upon Tyne?
Yes — we survey and quote brick slip finishes in Newcastle upon Tyne (NE1) and nearby Gateshead, Gosforth and Felling, with a fixed written price before any work starts.
