Exterior Cladding for Gables, Porches & Elevations
Cladding is the quickest way to take a tired-looking elevation and make it look cared for again, and unlike render or painted timber, it does not need doing again every couple of years.
What cladding work involves
We fit uPVC shiplap and timber-effect boards to gable ends, dormer cheeks, porch fronts and full elevations. Everything goes onto a battened, ventilated framework so air can move behind the boards and moisture is not trapped against the wall.
Colour and board profile make a big difference to how a house reads from the street. We will bring samples out and talk through what suits the property before anything is ordered.
Common questions about Cladding
Will cladding hide a damp problem?
It will hide it, but it will not fix it. If we find damp we will say so and deal with the cause first.
What colours can I have?
A wide range including white, anthracite grey, black and several woodgrain finishes. We will confirm the exact range available at quote stage.
Often done at the same time
- Roofline & Bargeboards
Bargeboards sit on the sloping gable edge and take the worst of the weather. On exposed streets around Bury and Ramsbottom they are usually the first part of the roofline to go.
- Fascias & Soffits
Fascias and soffits are the boards that close off your roof edge. When they soften or split, rain gets behind them and starts on the rafter feet, so we replace them properly rather than cladding over the top.
- Joinery & Carpentry
The joinery side is where the business started. If it is made of timber and it needs making, hanging, fitting or repairing, it is work we are happy to look at.
