Cladding Services

We install all types of exterior cladding, matched to your property and budget.

UPVC Cladding

Low-maintenance, durable and available in a wide range of colours and woodgrain finishes. The most popular choice for domestic properties.

Timber Cladding

Natural timber cladding in cedar, larch and treated softwood. A warm, authentic appearance that works beautifully on both traditional and contemporary properties.

Composite Cladding

Engineered boards that combine the look of timber with the durability of modern composites. Resistant to rot, insects and UV degradation.

Weatherboard Cladding

Traditional overlapping board profiles in UPVC or timber. A classic look that provides excellent weather protection for exposed walls.

Cladding Repairs

Replacement of damaged, warped or faded cladding boards. We match existing profiles and colours for a seamless repair.

Full Replacement

Complete removal of old cladding and installation of new. Includes checking the wall beneath, renewing battens and ensuring proper ventilation.

Signs Your Cladding Needs Attention

Cladding should protect your walls and look good. Watch for these issues:

Visible Damage

  • Warping, bowing or buckling boards
  • Cracking, splitting or peeling
  • Fading, discolouration or staining
  • Gaps opening between boards
  • Boards coming loose or detaching
  • Moss or algae growth on the surface

Underlying Issues

  • Damp inside the property behind cladding
  • Rot in timber cladding or battens
  • Poor ventilation causing condensation
  • Insects or birds nesting behind cladding
  • Water tracking behind boards

New cladding protects your walls and refreshes the look of your property. Get a free cladding quote.

Cladding FAQs

The cost depends on the area to be covered, the material chosen and access requirements. UPVC cladding is the most affordable option, composite sits in the middle, and natural timber is typically the most expensive. We provide free surveys and written quotations so you can compare your options.

In most cases, cladding falls under permitted development and does not require planning permission, provided it does not project more than 75mm from the wall. However, if your property is listed or in a conservation area, additional approvals may be needed. We can advise on your specific situation.

UPVC cladding typically lasts 20 to 30 years with minimal maintenance. Composite cladding has a similar lifespan. Natural timber cladding can last much longer if properly maintained, though it will need periodic treatment or repainting to protect it from the weather.

Cladding itself provides a modest improvement in weather protection but is not a significant insulator. However, insulation boards can be fitted between the battens behind the cladding to substantially improve the thermal performance of the wall. We can advise on insulation options if this is a priority.

Yes, in most cases. We fix battens to the wall through the render, creating a ventilated cavity behind the cladding. This approach works well on tired or cracked render and avoids the cost and mess of render removal.

UPVC and composite cladding need very little maintenance, just an occasional wash to remove dirt and algae. Timber cladding needs periodic treatment or repainting, typically every three to five years depending on the exposure and the type of finish used.
