Brick Slip Replacement

Brick slip replacement involves the removal of an existing, defective brick slip system and its reinstatement with a system that addresses the fixing, weathertightness and fire safety issues identified.

Trident Facades delivers brick slip replacement projects for residential, commercial and high-rise buildings across the UK, managing the process from investigation and design through to removal, installation and completion.

When Is Brick Slip Replacement Required?

Replacement is generally considered where fixing failures, water ingress or defective detailing are found across a significant proportion of the elevation, or where the existing backing system is unsuitable.

This can apply where a survey identifies:

Widespread debonding or detachment risk
Systemic fixing failures rather than isolated defects
A backing or support system that is not fit for purpose
Persistent water ingress behind the cladding
Missing or inadequate cavity barriers and fire stopping
Corrosion across support rails or fixings

Where these issues affect a substantial part of the façade, replacement is often more practical and durable than repeated localised repair.

Our Brick Slip Replacement Service

Investigation & Strategy

Our survey team establishes the existing construction and the extent of the defect, informing a clear replacement strategy for the affected elevations.

Design & Specification

The replacement system is specified to address fixing method, backing construction, movement joints, fire stopping and weathertightness, developed as a buildable solution.

Removal

Existing brick slips, backing panels and fixings are carefully removed, with the substrate prepared and made good ahead of the new system.

Installation

The new brick slip system, including fixings, cavity barriers and fire stopping, is then installed in accordance with the approved specification.

Who We Work With

We work with building owners, freeholders, managing agents and homeowners looking to address render defects identified through routine maintenance, a condition survey or a wider façade assessment.
