Exterior cladding protects your building's walls from the weather while improving its appearance. We install and replace cladding on homes and commercial properties across Thetford, using materials suited to Norfolk's damp winters and variable climate. Whether you need a full re-clad or repairs to damaged panels, we give you an honest assessment first.

Exterior cladding is the outer skin applied to a building's walls to keep moisture out, improve thermal performance, and give the property a cleaner finish. It's a common requirement on 1970s and 1980s timber-framed houses across Thetford and the surrounding villages, where original cladding has weathered badly or begun to rot. It's also increasingly popular on commercial units and agricultural buildings where owners want low-maintenance protection without the cost of masonry repairs.
The work typically involves stripping back damaged or outdated panels, checking the substrate beneath for any rot or damp damage, and installing new cladding fixed to treated battens. We work with uPVC, fibre cement, and composite timber-effect boards depending on your budget and the building's character. On older properties we also install breather membrane behind the cladding to manage moisture and reduce the risk of condensation building up in the wall cavity.
Poor cladding installation is one of the main causes of persistent damp in Thetford homes — particularly where panels have been cut badly around window reveals or fixings have been left exposed to the weather. A professional fit ensures all joints, corners, and penetrations are properly sealed and that fixings are rated for external use.
When you contact us we'll arrange a site visit, assess the existing wall condition, and give you a written quote before any work starts. Most residential re-cladding jobs on a standard semi-detached or detached house take two to four days. We clear all waste from site and leave the property secure each evening. Our work carries a ten-year workmanship guarantee.
Exterior cladding installation in Thetford typically costs between £80 and £140 per square metre, depending on the material chosen and the condition of the substrate underneath.
