What is brick slip external wall insulation?
Brick slip external wall insulation is an EWI system finished with 10–20mm thick clay brick slips, bonded with adhesive onto a reinforced basecoat over the insulation and then pointed. Corner slips return around external corners so the finish reads as solid brickwork.

Brick slip EWI in Hartlepool: questions
How much should I budget for brick slip external wall insulation in Hartlepool?
Budget around £185–£265 per square metre of wall for the system and finish, plus scaffolding priced per house. The survey measures your walls in Hartlepool and fixes the total in writing.
Is building control approval needed for brick slip external wall insulation in Hartlepool?
Insulating more than half of a wall, or more than a quarter of the whole building envelope, counts as renovating a thermal element under the Building Regulations, so the wall should reach 0.30 W/m²K where that is technically, functionally and economically feasible, and building control must be involved. We arrange it as part of the job.
