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 Tiverton: questions
Is building control approval needed for brick slip external wall insulation in Tiverton?
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.
Do you cover Exeter as well as Tiverton?
Yes. From Tiverton we also cover Exeter, Taunton and Exmouth, and the rest of Devon.
How long will the work take in Tiverton?
Two to six weeks on site for most houses, depending on size: bungalows are quicker, detached houses longer, weather allowing. Render isn't applied in rain or frost.
