Eurobrick Systems : Seek expert advice to avoid costly project delays
Ensuring the correct materials are delivered on time is crucial for keeping projects on schedule. However, progress on-site can still be delayed if design and installation details have not been thoroughly planned. Richard Haines, director of Eurobrick Systems, has seen this happen many times, and it often leads to an increase in on-site costs.
Eurobrick is the UK’s longest-established supplier of brick slip cladding systems, having been in business since 1990. Its estimating and technical team have a wealth of experience which enables them to offer effective design reviews, comprehensive take-offs and accurate estimates, providing an invaluable service during project planning.
Richard Haines commented, “Providing us with intended design details at an early stage gives us a chance to identify any proposals which could present difficulties in practice. Our experience across all sectors means we can offer assistance to overcome such issues, often leading to savings in material cost, as well as smoother progress during installation on site. Our input at the design and specification stages can offer real value.”
As well as providing a review of details and estimating, Eurobrick also provide training for installers and technical support at all stages of a project. This comprehensive service has enabled some of Eurobrick’s clients to undertake ambitious projects using brick slips. Here are just a few of them…
Marks & Spencer’s Brixton
This Brixton store is a landmark location for M&S as it was their first London branch which opened in 1903. A recent major refurbishment required significant technical input and materials planning/management from Eurobrick. The M&S design team wanted to re-instate a brick finish to the original railway arches. Following detailed consultation, Eurobrick supplied six large bespoke brick slip arch soffits and six rowlock arches as well as its I-Clad system and specially cut brick slips for installation. Find out more here.
Imperial War Museum
This impressive three-storey building was a modular construction finished with Eurobrick’s P-Clad brick slip rainscreen system. The design included brick soffits and cills and brick slips and headers cut to different thicknesses to create a relief effect. This level of complexity required Eurobrick to carry out a detailed take-off to provide an accurate estimate. Eurobrick was responsible for the ordering of bespoke materials and components and ensuring that these were supplied on time. Find out more here.
Scala Court
This mixed-use residential development had an interesting design with triangular oriel type windows spanning the first and second floors. Achieving this design was only possible using a brick slip system. Eurobrick’s experienced estimators reviewed the plans and provided a detailed breakdown of the numbers of specially cut stretcher and corner brick slips that would be required in addition to its P-Clad system. P-Clad is lightweight compared to traditionally constructed masonry which made the distinctive window design details possible. You can find out more here.
The versatility of brick slips has been proven time and again over the years. If you have a complex project and would like some help finding solutions for particular brick finishes or bespoke detailing then Eurobrick have the expertise to help.

Europoint Mortar is A1-Rated
Europoint is our proprietary pointing mortar, carefully formulated for performance and reliability. Originally developed in the early 2000s for use with our brick slip cladding systems, Europoint has a proven track record.
Prioritising Safety
Fire safety is a critical concern in today’s construction industry. Building Regulations now require non-combustible materials (Class A1 or A2) to be used in the construction of external walls of residential buildings over 11 metres and commercial use buildings over 18 metres. This includes the pointing mortars used in brick slip cladding systems.
In response to these requirements, we introduced our A-Clad non-combustible cladding system. As a component of this system, Europoint underwent rigorous fire testing and achieved an A1 fire rating (EN 13501-1; 2018). This classification makes Europoint fully compliant for use on buildings of any height, meeting the highest fire safety standards.
Specially Formulated for Ease of Use
Europoint’s formulation ensures quick and easy application, whether using gun or bag injection methods. Beyond cladding systems, it is also ideal for repairing pointing in existing masonry walls. Its versatility, efficiency, and reliability have made it a go-to choice for contractors and DIYers alike.
Available in eight colors, Europoint offers the flexibility to match a variety of aesthetic preferences, as the choice of mortar can significantly impact a project’s final appearance. Supplied in 25kg dry-pack bags, it’s easy to transport, store, and handle on-site. Whether you are embarking on a new build, a refurbishment, or a repair, Europoint provides a high-performance solution.
