Exterior Cladding

Exterior Cladding in Dereham

Exterior cladding is the protective outer layer fixed to the walls of a building, and it does two jobs at once — it shields the structure from Norfolk's wet winters and gives the property a clean, refreshed appearance. We work on everything from 1970s brick semis in Dereham that need a modern update to rural agricultural buildings and commercial units requiring heavy-duty weatherproofing.

The work typically starts with an inspection of the existing wall surface. Any damaged render, timber, or substrate is repaired before the new cladding goes on. We install a breather membrane first where required, then fix the chosen panels — whether that's uPVC, fibre cement (such as HardiePlank), treated timber boarding, or composite — using the manufacturer's recommended fixings and maintaining the correct ventilation gap behind the boards.

Skimping on cladding installation is a false economy. Poorly fixed panels allow wind-driven rain to get behind the boarding, which can saturate wall insulation and cause damp problems that cost thousands to put right. A professional installation done correctly the first time protects that investment for 20 to 40 years depending on the material chosen.

When you book us, we'll visit the property, measure up, and give you a written quote within a few days. We'll walk you through material options with honest advice on lifespan and maintenance requirements. Most cladding jobs on a standard semi-detached in Dereham take between three and five days to complete. All work comes with a five-year workmanship guarantee, and we're fully insured for work at height.

Exterior cladding installation in Dereham typically costs between £70 and £120 per square metre, depending on the material chosen and the complexity of the wall surface.
