Wall Cladding

Alongside our roofing services, we also specialise in installing wall cladding. Wall cladding refers to the process of covering the exterior walls of a building with materials such as wood, metal, stone or composite materials. Its benefits include enhancing the aesthetic appeal of a structure, providing insulation and offering protection from moisture and other environmental elements, which in turn contribute towards extending its lifespan.  

Wall cladding is a great option for projects where you are looking to improve the appearance of a building, whilst also meeting functional requirements and increasing longevity of your asset. 

External wall cladding is the addition of a secondary layer to the exterior of a wall. The panels can be fixed horizontally or vertically depending on the type of material being used and the desired aesthetic. Cladding has various uses and benefits: 

Our team has many years’ experience installing a range of wall cladding systems and we are proud to use quality materials from industry-leading manufacturers like Euroclad Group. Each cladding system comes with its own unique benefits, and we can advise on the best solution for your project.  

Composite cladding consists of multi-layer panels, which arrive on the construction site pre-prepared. The panels are mounted on a subframe and are locked together to form a weatherproof seal, with a ventilation gap behind them. Composite cladding comes in a wide range of shapes and styles, each with different thermal properties. 

As the name suggests, rainscreen cladding is fitted over a wall, or an insulation layer, to protect it against water ingress. Rainscreen cladding is not watertight as it’s important that air can circulate between the layers for ventilation, but it’s designed to stop direct rain, runoff and splashes from reaching the fabric of the building.  

Cladding brings a host of benefits to large residential buildings, such as apartment blocks, and is particularly important in ensuring compliance with fire safety and building regulations in line with the Building Safety Act 2022 (BSA). We are approved installers of fire-resistant wall cladding systems, and our team is trained to meet the BSA and all other relevant building regulations, giving developers and landlords peace of mind.  

In retail, appearance is vital if you want to get customers through the door. Many retailers use wall cladding on their stores as it is aesthetically pleasing while providing numerous structural benefits. For large retailers, like Aldi, it’s important that their stores are instantly recognisable, so they use wall cladding to create a consistent building design, which plays a part in their overall brand presence. We are experienced in working with retailers and managing the common challenges they face, such as keeping stores operational while the works take place.  

Our in-house team of experts is experienced in fitting a wide number of cladding solutions and can advise you on which option is best suited to your requirements. Take a look at our projects for examples of our workmanship and our testimonials for client feedback.
