Brick Slip Cladding Remediation

Brick slip cladding remediation involves investigating an existing brick slip system, establishing the cause of any defects and carrying out the works needed to restore its structural integrity, weathertightness and appearance.

Trident Facades provides brick slip remediation services for residential, commercial and high-rise buildings across the UK, from initial investigation through to design, specification and delivery of the remedial works.

When Is Brick Slip Remediation Required?

Brick slip systems rely heavily on correct fixing, backing and jointing detail, and defects often relate to how the system was originally installed.

Issues can include:

Debonding or detachment of individual slips
Cracking or displacement across panels
Failed adhesive or mechanical fixings
Water ingress behind the slip system
Defective movement joints and interfaces
Corrosion of support rails or fixings
Inadequate cavity barriers or fire stopping behind the system

Given the detachment risk associated with failed brick slip fixings, early investigation is important where any of these signs are present.

Our Brick Slip Remediation Service

Investigation

Our survey team can carry out condition surveys and opening-up works to establish the fixing method, backing system and extent of any defect across the elevation.

Remediation Strategy

Findings are used to determine whether the appropriate response is localised repair, replacement of specific panels or fixings, or wider remedial works across the elevation.

Design & Specification

Our design team develops the remediation strategy into a buildable specification, addressing fixing method, backing system, movement joints and fire stopping requirements.

Delivery

Remedial works can then be carried out, including removal of affected slips and support systems, repair or replacement of fixings, and reinstatement of the brick slip finish.

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.
