Façades: brick slip cladding installers: Brick slip cladding, installed with the wall behind it
We install brick slip cladding as part of a complete façade package: the SFS frame, the boards with fire barriers, the insulation and the brick slip system, with the flashings and copings that finish it. We have installed GeBrik insulated brick cladding for main contractors including Willmott Dixon, and Taylor Maxwell brick slips at Sevenoaks Grammar School.

The whole wall, not just the slips
A brick slip façade is only as good as what sits behind it. On most of our brick slip projects we installed every layer, so one company answered for the interfaces between them:
- SFS framing: the light steel wall behind the cladding, detailed by our design team.
- Boards with fire barriers: cement particle board or external sheathing board, with fire barriers, installed as the wall goes up.
- Insulation and the brick slip system: the slips set on rails over the insulation, fixed to the manufacturer's details.
- Flashings and copings: aluminium flashings and copings at the heads, sills and parapets.
Fire stopping and cavity barriers are installed by our FIRAS-approved teams in the same sequence. See cavity barriers and fire stopping.
Brick slip alongside other cladding
Few elevations use one material. These are the combinations we have installed:
- GeBrik with Marley cladding at REEC in Richmond, for Willmott Dixon, and at the Kent and Medway Medical School in Canterbury.
- GeBrik with Trespa cladding at Adur Civic Centre, Shoreham-by-Sea, for Willmott Dixon.
- GeBrik with timber cladding and render at Canterbury Mills Academy, for Willmott Dixon.
- GeBrik with perforated aluminium rainscreen at Eltham Cinema, and with aluminium rainscreen at St Dunstan's College, Catford, for Willmott Dixon.
- GeBrik with render at Cobham Free School, Phase 2.
- Taylor Maxwell brick slips with Euro cladding and render at Sevenoaks Grammar School.
On new buildings and existing ones
Most of our brick slip projects were new buildings. We have also clad existing ones:
- Ark Oval Primary Academy, Croydon: GeBrik brick slip and aluminium flashings and copings for the school's renovation, working directly for the academy.
- Adur Civic Centre, Shoreham-by-Sea: the conversion of the civic centre to modern offices, for Willmott Dixon: SFS, cement particle board with fire barriers, GeBrik and Trespa cladding.

Brick slip questions
Anything else? Call 01708 554777.
Which brick slip systems do you install?
We have installed GeBrik insulated brick cladding on most of our brick slip projects, and Taylor Maxwell brick slips at Sevenoaks Grammar School.
Do you install the SFS and boards behind the brick slip?
Yes. On most of our brick slip projects we installed the SFS framing, the cement particle board or sheathing board with fire barriers, the insulation and the brick slip system, with the aluminium flashings and copings.
Can brick slip cladding go on an existing building?
Yes. We installed GeBrik on the renovation of Ark Oval Primary Academy in Croydon, and on the conversion of Adur Civic Centre in Shoreham-by-Sea to offices for Willmott Dixon.
Can you combine brick slip with other cladding?
Yes. We have installed brick slip next to Marley, Trespa, timber, render and aluminium rainscreen cladding, for example at REEC in Richmond, Adur Civic Centre and Eltham Cinema.
Who installs the fire barriers and fire stopping?
We do. Fire barriers are part of the board layer we install behind the cladding, and our FIRAS-approved teams install the fire stopping in the same sequence. We have been a FIRAS-approved installer since 2020.
Where do you install brick slip cladding?
Across London and the South East: our brick slip projects are in London, Kent, Surrey and Sussex.
