The Service
One Team, From Brick Choice To Final Pointing
Most brick slip problems start where responsibility splits. A merchant sells the slips, a general builder fits them, and when the bond wanders or the corners look wrong there is nobody left holding the whole job. Supplying and installing removes that gap entirely.
You choose the brick in daylight at our Middlesbrough showroom. We take the measurements, allow properly for wastage and corner slips, and then fit the wall ourselves: substrate preparation, setting out, fixing, pointing and a clean handover.
It works the same way for a single chimney breast as it does for a full elevation. The scale changes, the standard does not.
Who it is for
- Homeowners who want one contractor accountable for the finished wall.
- Builders and developers who would rather subcontract the brick slip element to a specialist.
- Anyone who has had a quote from a general builder and wants a specialist opinion first.
- Customers matching a new extension to an existing house.
When it is needed
- When the project involves both buying the slips and fitting them.
- When corners, reveals or returns are involved and the setting out matters.
- When you want a single workmanship guarantee covering the whole installation.
Why It Matters
Why Split Responsibility Costs You Money
Brick slips look forgiving until they are on the wall. Joint width, bond, corner returns and the start course all have to be decided before the first slip is fixed, and none of those decisions can be undone afterwards without stripping the wall back.
When supply and fit are separated, the quantities are usually the first thing to go wrong. Too few corner slips, no allowance for wastage, or a second batch from a different blend that no longer matches the first.
Doing both means the person setting out the wall is the same person who worked out what to order, and the same person you ring if anything is not right.
Common mistakes we are called in to fix
- Ordering flat slips and forgetting corner slips entirely.
- Buying a second batch later and finding the blend no longer matches.
- Letting a general builder set out a brick slip wall by eye.
- Fixing slips to a substrate that was never checked for movement or moisture.
- Pointing with the wrong mortar colour, which changes the whole look of the wall.
Our Process
Five Steps From First LookTo Guaranteed Finish
- 01
Step 1 — Inspection
We look at the actual wall, not a description of it. Substrate type, flatness, moisture, existing finishes, sockets, skirtings, window reveals and the way daylight hits the surface all change what the finished wall will look like. Send photographs and rough measurements, or visit the Middlesbrough showroom, and we will tell you straight away whether the wall is suitable as it stands.
- 02
Step 2 — Brick Selection & Free Quote
You choose the brick from the full range in the showroom — in your hand, in daylight, against your own colour samples if you bring them. We then set out the quantity required including wastage and corner slips, and issue a free, no-obligation quote covering supply and fit, or supply only if you would rather fit it yourself.
- 03
Step 3 — Preparation & Protection
Surfaces, floors and furniture are protected before the first slip goes anywhere near the wall. The substrate is prepared so the adhesive bonds to something sound, and the setting-out is marked before fixing begins — bond pattern, joint width, start course and corner returns are all decided in advance rather than improvised halfway up the wall.
- 04
Step 4 — Installation
Slips are fixed to the agreed setting out, working from marked datum lines rather than by eye. Corners are formed with proper corner slips so the wall reads as solid masonry from every angle, and cuts are kept out of sight lines wherever the layout allows.
- 05
Step 5 — Pointing, Verification & Guarantee
Joints are pointed in the agreed mortar colour, brushed back and cleaned down. We check the wall for level, bond and consistent joint width before handover, remove protection and leave the room usable. The installation is covered by our 25-year workmanship guarantee.

Questions
Brick Slip Supply & InstallationQuestions Answered
Still unsure? Ring Stuart on +44 7747 771113 — a two-minute conversation usually settles it.
Do you supply the brick slips as well as fitting them?
Yes. We supply the slips from our own showroom and fit them, so one team is responsible for the finished wall.
Can I supply my own brick slips and have you fit them?
Talk to us about it. We will tell you honestly whether what you have bought is suitable and whether the quantities are right.
How long does a typical installation take?
It depends on the size of the wall and the substrate. A single feature wall is usually a matter of days rather than weeks, and we confirm timings with your quote.
Is a quote free?
Yes. Quotes are free and carry no obligation.
What guarantee do I get?
Every installation is backed by our 25-year workmanship guarantee.
Do you work on interior and exterior walls?
Both. Interior feature walls, fireplaces and kitchens, and exterior cladding on extensions, porches and full elevations.
Will the wall look like real brickwork?
Fitted with proper corner slips and pointed correctly, yes. The setting out and the corners are what give it away when it is done badly.
Do I need to visit the showroom?
It is not compulsory, but choosing brick in daylight with the sample in your hand is far more reliable than choosing from a screen.
Do you cover my area?
We work across Teesside, County Durham, North Yorkshire and the wider North East.
Can you match my existing house bricks?
Bring or send a photograph of the elevation and ideally a sample brick, and we will show you the closest blends.
