Why clad

Timber weatherboarding is a maintenance habit

A painted timber elevation looks superb for about four years, then asks for scaffolding and a fortnight every time.

Modern uPVC and composite boards give you the same shadow lines and board widths without the repainting. On a tile-hung or weatherboarded Sussex elevation they read correctly from the pavement.

Fitted over a ventilated batten framework so the wall behind can breathe, with the junctions, corners and stop ends detailed rather than butted together and sealed.

  • Shiplap, open-V and flat board profiles
  • Woodgrain and smooth finishes in a range of colours
  • Ventilated batten framework behind
  • Corners, stop ends and junctions properly detailed

Worth knowing

What is behind it matters

Cladding covers an elevation. It does not fix one.

If the timber behind is rotten, or the wall is damp, boarding over it hides the problem and lets it carry on. That is how a cheap job becomes an expensive one three years later.

We strip back and look before quoting, and we will tell you if there is repair work needed underneath rather than covering it and saying nothing.

Ask us a question

Will cladding stop my walls being damp?

No — and anyone who tells you otherwise is guessing. Cladding is a finish, not a damp treatment. We look at what is behind it and deal with the cause first.

Does it need painting?

No. That is the main reason people move to it from timber. Wash it down occasionally and that is the maintenance.

Can it match timber weatherboarding?

Closely, yes. Shiplap and open-V profiles in a woodgrain finish read correctly from the pavement on a Sussex elevation.

Can you clad just one elevation?

Yes, and often that is what is wanted — the gable or the upper storey that takes the weather, leaving brickwork elsewhere.

Do you replace the fascias at the same time?

We would recommend it. The scaffold and access are the expensive part, so doing the rooftrim in the same visit is far cheaper.
