Your kitchen stays exactly where it is — we carefully measure, cut and install each brick slip around your units, worktops, sockets, switches, windows and other existing features to create a finish that looks like genuine brickwork. With over 30 years of bricklaying experience behind our work, attention to detail comes as standard. Every kitchen is different, which is why every installation is individually set out. We work with your existing kitchen rather than asking you to alter it to accommodate the brickwork. Brick slips are carefully cut and positioned around wall units, worktops, sockets, switches, window reveals and other fixed features. The bond, joint widths, cuts, corners and course heights are considered before installation begins, allowing us to create a balanced finish that looks intentional and works naturally with the layout of your kitchen. The aim is simple: when we have finished, it should look like the brickwork was always meant to be there. ### Who it is for Homeowners with a fitted kitchen already in place who want a real brick finish without altering the units. - Modern kitchens with clean lines and handleless cabinetry that need warmth and texture. - Traditional and country kitchens where a weathered or reclaimed brick becomes part of the character of the room. - Industrial-inspired schemes where genuine brick is the whole point of the room. - Open-plan kitchen-diners where a single feature area or a full wall anchors the space. ### When it is needed - Once your new kitchen has been fitted and the walls are ready for a feature finish. - When tired tiles or a marked painted wall need replacing with something with depth. - When a kitchen feels flat and painted walls cannot deliver the warmth you are after. - When you want a single standout area — behind the hob, along the sink run, or on a dining wall. Why It Matters ## Specialist Installation Makes The Difference Installing brick slips into a completed kitchen requires considerably more detailing than working on an empty wall. Cuts need to be accurate. Courses need to remain level. Corners and returns need to look natural. Socket and switch positions have to be incorporated cleanly, while the surrounding kitchen must be carefully protected throughout the work. This is where decades of traditional bricklaying experience make the difference. We approach every kitchen brick slip installation as brickwork — carefully setting out the wall and maintaining the bond and joint finish to create an authentic result rather than simply covering a wall with brick-effect tiles. One of the biggest differences between an average brick slip installation and a professionally installed one is what happens around the details. Corners, window reveals, ends of walls and exposed returns are particularly important. Where appropriate, purpose-made corner slips allow the brick to continue naturally around an edge, helping disguise the fact that the wall has been clad. Combined with correct bonding and professional pointing, this creates the depth and appearance you would expect from traditionally built brickwork. ### Common mistakes we are called in to fix - Cutting sockets and switches through the middle of brick faces instead of planning them into the layout. - Leaving raw slip edges at the end of a run or at a corner instead of using purpose-made corner slips. - Starting without setting out the bond, joint widths and course heights around the existing units. - Fitting straight over old tile adhesive or unsound plaster. - Working in a finished kitchen without properly protecting worktops, units and flooring. Our Process ## Five Steps From First LookTo Guaranteed Finish - 01 ### Step 1 — Your Kitchen Send us photographs of the areas you would like brick slipped along with some approximate measurements. We can then discuss the project, the brick finish you are looking for and the best approach for your kitchen. - 02 ### Step 2 — Brick Selection & Quotation Choose your preferred brick from our extensive range. We will calculate the materials required and provide a clear, no-obligation quotation for the work. - 03 ### Step 3 — Protection & Preparation Before installation begins, worktops, units, flooring and surrounding areas are carefully protected. The wall is checked and prepared where necessary to provide the correct surface for installation. - 04 ### Step 4 — Setting Out & Installation The brickwork is set out around your existing kitchen before fixing begins. Each slip is installed to maintain consistent courses and joints, with individual pieces accurately cut around units, sockets, switches, windows and other fixed features. - 05 ### Step 5 — Pointing & Finishing Once installed, the brick slips are professionally pointed to create the appearance of traditional brickwork. The completed installation is checked, cleaned and the surrounding kitchen left tidy. What You Get ## The Difference A SpecialistMakes To The Finish ### Your Kitchen Stays Where It Is In normal circumstances nothing has to come out. We install around your existing units, worktops and appliances, protecting the kitchen throughout. ### Warmth, Texture And Character Brick slips can completely change the character of a kitchen without structural brickwork or major alterations, introducing depth that painted walls simply cannot achieve. ### An Extensive Range Of Bricks From traditional reclaimed-style reds and weathered bricks to lighter, contemporary finishes, so you can choose a brick that complements your existing units, worktops and flooring. ### Detailing That Reads As Real Brickwork Corners, reveals and returns are finished with purpose-made corner slips where appropriate, so the wall does not give itself away at the edges. ### Suitable For Almost Any Style Modern, traditional, industrial or country-inspired — brick slips can be used on a single feature area or across larger kitchen walls depending on the look you want. ### 30 Years Of Bricklaying Experience Our work is built on more than 30 years in the bricklaying trade, and every installation is backed by our 25-year workmanship guarantee. In Detail ## Kitchen Brick Slips In Detail The detail below is what separates a professionally installed kitchen wall from a tiled imitation of one. Product-level data such as dimensions and coverage varies by brick and is confirmed for your chosen slip before you order. ### Why Choose Brick Slips For Your Kitchen? Brick slips can completely change the character of a kitchen without requiring structural brickwork or major alterations. Whether your kitchen is modern, traditional, industrial or country-inspired, the right brick can introduce warmth, texture and depth that painted walls simply cannot achieve. ### Cutting Around Units And Worktops Because we install into a finished kitchen, each slip is cut and positioned around wall units, worktops and returns so the coursing stays level and the cuts land where they look intentional. ### Sockets, Switches And Fixtures Brick slips are accurately cut and detailed around sockets, switches and other fixtures while maintaining the brick bond and the overall appearance of the wall. ### Windows And Reveals Window openings and reveals are incorporated into the installation, with the brickwork carefully detailed so the finish looks natural rather than stopped short. ### Corners, Returns And Wall Ends Corners, window reveals, ends of walls and exposed returns are particularly important. Purpose-made corner slips allow the brick to continue naturally around an edge, helping disguise the fact that the wall has been clad. ### Choosing The Right Brick Our extensive range covers traditional reclaimed-style reds, weathered bricks and lighter contemporary finishes. Because we are installing into your existing kitchen, you can choose a brick specifically to complement what is already there. ### Protecting The Existing Kitchen Worktops, units, flooring and surrounding areas are protected before any work begins, and the kitchen is cleaned down and left tidy once the pointing is complete. We supply and fit across Middlesbrough, Stockton-on-Tees, Darlington, Hartlepool, Durham, York, Harrogate, Newcastle and Sunderland, based at Thompson Yard, Middlesbrough, TS3 8RQ.
