Exterior Cladding

Exterior Cladding in your area

Exterior cladding is a protective outer layer fixed to the walls of a building. It is used on new builds, extensions, barn conversions and ageing properties where the original render or brickwork has begun to deteriorate. Many homeowners in Mildenhall also use it to modernise the look of a 1970s or 1980s property without the cost and disruption of a full rebuild.

The work starts with a survey of the existing wall surface. We check for damp penetration, structural movement and any areas that need making good before the new cladding goes on. We install a ventilated cavity between the wall and the cladding boards — this is essential for moisture management and thermal performance. Materials we fit include fibre cement boards, composite timber-effect panels, and corrugated metal sheeting for agricultural and light commercial buildings. Fixings are stainless steel throughout to prevent rust staining over time.

Cladding installed without the correct cavity, fixings or weatherproofing at the joints will allow water to track behind the boards and cause serious damp problems. Our team is familiar with the older brick and block construction common across West Suffolk, and we know where water ingress typically occurs if the detailing is not done properly.

When you contact us, we arrange a free site visit, take measurements and discuss material options to suit your budget and planning requirements. Most residential cladding jobs in Mildenhall take between three and seven days to complete, depending on the size of the elevation. We leave the site clean each day and will not leave exposed walls overnight without temporary protection in place.

Exterior cladding installation in Mildenhall typically costs between £80 and £140 per square metre, depending on the material chosen and the condition of the existing substrate.
