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 Hereford: questions
How much should I budget for brick slip external wall insulation in Hereford?
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 Hereford and fixes the total in writing.
Do I need planning permission for external wall insulation in Hereford?
On a house, external wall insulation is usually permitted development if the finish looks similar to the existing walls. Render or cladding on a house in a conservation area, National Park, National Landscape (AONB), the Broads or a World Heritage Site needs planning permission. Flats and maisonettes have no householder permitted development rights, listed buildings need listed building consent, and an Article 4 direction can remove rights locally.
