Tyneside flats
The region's signature housing type — paired upper and lower flats in solid-wall terraces, with original chimney breasts and rooms that cannot afford to lose depth to a solid brick skin.

Property Types
The Houses And BuildingsWe See In Newcastle
Jesmond and Heaton Victorian terraces
Large bay-fronted terraces with strong original detail. Reinstated brick chimney breasts and hallway walls suit them, provided the blend is chosen for the period rather than the trend.
Quayside and Ouseburn apartments
Converted industrial buildings and modern apartments where exposed brick is part of the architectural language — and where a badly matched slip wall is immediately obvious.
Gosforth and suburban family housing
Larger semis and detached houses with extensions, open-plan kitchens and garden rooms needing brick elevations or dining-end feature walls.

Why Us
Why Newcastle CustomersUse Bespoke Brickwork
It has to look like Tyneside brick
Newcastle is surrounded by genuine exposed brickwork, so the blend and joint colour have to answer to it. Weathered and stock blends usually sit better than anything crisp and new.
Brick slips only, 30 years in the trade
One trade, done properly, with the setting-out decided before fixing rather than improvised.
25-year workmanship guarantee
Every installation carries our 25-year workmanship guarantee.
Free quotes from photographs
Send photographs and rough measurements and get a free written quote — no obligation either way.
Job counts for individual areas and guaranteed response times are Not Provided — we would rather leave a number out than invent one. What we will confirm: 30 years in the trade, trading as Bespoke Brickwork since 2015, our own showroom, a 25-year workmanship guarantee and a five-star Google review record.
Local Conditions
The Problems NewcastleWalls Actually Throw Up
Depth is scarce in Tyneside flats
Rooms in flats and terraces cannot give up 100mm to a brick skin. A 20mm slip wall is the only realistic way to get genuine brick into these rooms.
Solid-wall construction and moisture
Tyneside's older stock is solid-wall, so internal substrates are checked for moisture and soundness before any cladding.
Real exposed brick next door to the new wall
In converted industrial buildings the new brickwork often sits within sight of genuine original brick. Blend and joint colour have to be chosen against it, physically, not from a screen.
Exposed north-eastern weather
Wind-driven rain and freeze–thaw affect external work across Tyneside. Substrate condition and specification are settled before ordering.
Our Process
Five Steps From First LookTo Guaranteed Finish
- 01
Free Consultation
Tell us the room or elevation, send photographs and rough measurements, and we will tell you what is realistic before anyone travels.
- 02
Showroom Or Samples
Compare blends in daylight at Thompson Yard, or take samples away so you can see them against your own light, paint and flooring.
- 03
Survey And Substrate Check
The wall is measured and the substrate assessed for soundness and moisture. Setting out, bond and corner detail are agreed before anything is ordered.
- 04
Installation
Surfaces protected, slips fixed to the agreed setting out, corners formed with purpose-made corner slips so no cut edges show.
- 05
Pointing, Clean Down And Guarantee
Joints pointed and finished to the agreed colour, the area cleaned down, and the work handed over with our 25-year workmanship guarantee.
Questions
Brick Slips In NewcastleQuestions Answered
Anything not covered here? Ring Stuart on +44 7747 771113 or email stuart_fletcher@live.co.uk.
Do you cover Newcastle?
Yes — Newcastle and the wider Tyneside area, alongside Teesside, County Durham and North Yorkshire.
How fast can you reach Newcastle?
Newcastle is further north than our Teesside core area, so timescales are agreed job by job. A guaranteed response time is Not Provided.
How much do brick slips cost in Newcastle?
Each wall is quoted individually on size, brick choice, corner work and access. Quotes are free and carry no obligation.
Will a slip wall match the exposed brick in my apartment?
That depends entirely on the blend and joint colour, which is why we recommend comparing samples against a photograph of the existing brickwork in daylight.
Can you fit brick slips in a Tyneside flat?
Yes, and it is one of the best applications for them — genuine brick without losing the floor depth a solid skin would take.
Do you offer emergency call-outs in Newcastle?
No — this is planned work rather than an emergency service.
Where do I see the range?
At our Middlesbrough showroom, Thompson Yard, TS3 8RQ, open Monday to Saturday 9am–5:30pm and Sunday 10am–2pm.
Do you do commercial fit-outs in Newcastle?
Yes — bars, cafés, barbers and retail, with access and phasing agreed for the premises.
What guarantee applies?
A 25-year workmanship guarantee on every installation.

Brick slips in MiddlesbroughIn Summary
Brick Slips In Newcastle
Tyneside flats, Jesmond and Heaton terraces, Ouseburn and Quayside conversions and Gosforth family housing make Newcastle one of the most varied areas we cover. Depth is the constant constraint in the older stock, and matching genuine exposed brick is the constant challenge in the converted stock — both of which real slips, properly pointed, handle better than any imitation panel.
