Exterior Cladding

Exterior Cladding in Wymondham

Exterior cladding is applied to the outer face of a building to protect the structure from wind, rain, and temperature changes while improving how the property looks. It suits homes with tired or cracked render, older properties with poor thermal performance, and new builds or extensions where the client wants a specific finish. Cladding is also a practical choice for properties in exposed rural positions around Wymondham where driving rain is a regular problem.

The work involves stripping back any loose or failed existing material, fixing a suitable batten framework to the wall, and then installing the cladding boards or panels in a weathertight sequence. We use a range of systems including uPVC, fibre cement, and composite timber-effect boards, and we match the choice to the building type and the client's budget. All fixings, trims, corners, and window surrounds are finished properly so there are no gaps where water can get behind the cladding.

Poorly installed cladding can trap moisture against the wall and cause damp problems that are expensive to put right. A professional installation includes a breathable membrane or ventilated cavity where the wall construction requires it, which keeps the structure dry over the long term. Getting this right from the start avoids costly remedial work later.

We carry out a site visit before quoting so we can check the existing wall condition and take accurate measurements. Most residential cladding jobs on a standard semi-detached or detached house in the Wymondham area take between three and six days depending on the size and access requirements. We keep disruption to a minimum and clear the site at the end of each day.

Exterior cladding on a typical Norfolk semi-detached house costs between £4,000 and £9,000 installed, depending on the material chosen and the area to be covered. Call us to arrange a free site visit and written quote.
