Why are uk brick slip companies so slow to get back to potential customers? Is it because they only want the 'big jobs' like corporate buildings? Looking at how many have gone out of business, maybe they should change their attitudes?

My architect is designing my brick slips elevations. Note: they are slips not full bricks and they will come from by Eurobrick if that is relevant. See the 62mm gap at the end, what to do about it?

Now the company that sells these is http://www.brickslips.net/ I have contacted them for a list of their recommended installers in the SE ...tumble weed time! I guess they only want to sell and not get involved with recommending Does anyone have any experience of these, just to give you an example ...Brick slips or Brick Tiles as some call them: here is a video of them going on (although I am not sure this will be the applicable way on our Timber SIPS Potton build
