Exterior Cladding

Exterior Cladding in Poringland

Exterior cladding is fitted to the outside walls of a property to improve weather resistance, insulation, and appearance. It suits homeowners dealing with crumbling render, damp ingress through cavity walls, or simply a dated exterior that drags down the property's kerb appeal. We fit cladding to everything from 1970s semi-detached houses to newer barn-style homes across Poringland and the surrounding villages.

The work involves stripping back any failing render or loose material, installing a treated timber or aluminium batten framework, and then fixing the chosen cladding boards. We work with uPVC, fibre cement, and composite timber-effect boards depending on the look and budget you are after. Flashings, trims, and window surrounds are all fitted to ensure a weathertight finish with no cold bridges or gaps for water to track behind the panels.

Having a roofer handle your cladding rather than a general builder makes sense when the job involves working at height, integrating with soffits and fascias, or tying the cladding into an existing roof line. We understand how water moves across a building facade and how to detail the top edge so nothing is left exposed. Poor detailing at the junction between cladding and roofline is one of the main causes of damp problems on Norfolk properties.

We start every job with a thorough inspection of the existing wall surface, checking for any underlying damp, cracks, or structural movement that should be addressed before cladding goes on. Most residential cladding jobs in Poringland take between two and five days depending on the size of the elevation. We keep the site tidy, protect windows and paths, and remove all waste at the end.

Exterior cladding in Norfolk typically costs between £80 and £150 per square metre installed, depending on the material chosen and the complexity of the elevation.
