Cladding
External Cladding in Essex
Durable, low-maintenance cladding for homes, extensions and garden rooms. Our Wickford-based team surveys, specifies and installs external finishes across Essex.
Cladding & external works
A cleaner finish with practical protection.
Cladding can refresh a tired elevation while helping to protect the underlying wall from everyday exposure. We assess the property, discuss the preferred appearance and plan the junctions around windows, doors, brickwork and roofline before agreeing the specification.
- Gable ends, upper storeys and feature elevations
- Extensions, garden rooms and ancillary buildings
- Horizontal and vertical design options
- Survey, supply and professional installation
Cladding options
Choose the board and material.
Horizontal, vertical and panelled appearances can be specified around the building. The suitable material, profile, direction and joints are confirmed following survey.
01 / Timber
Redwood shiplap
A finished timber board with a clean overlapping profile, suited to natural-looking horizontal cladding where the substrate and detailing are appropriate.
02 / Timber
Brown featheredge
A treated overlapping timber board with a traditional appearance. As featheredge is a fencing-category board, intended use and junction detailing are confirmed before specification.
03 / Composite
Cladco composite
A low-maintenance wood-effect composite board available in Charcoal, Teak, Light Grey, Stone Grey, Olive Green, Ivory, Redwood and Coffee.
04 / Fibre cement
Cedral Lap Wood
A fibre-cement lap board with a timber-grain appearance. Referenced finishes include C01 White, C05 Grey, C10 Blue Grey and C15 Dark Grey.
Colour & finish
Finish your chosen material.
Compare the available colours within each selected board range. The final finish is confirmed using current supplier references and physical samples.

Common questions
Cladding FAQs
Where can external cladding be installed?
Common locations include gable ends, upper storeys, dormers, extensions, feature elevations and garden rooms. Suitability depends on the existing construction and is confirmed after survey.
Is cladding low maintenance?
Many modern cladding finishes are chosen for straightforward upkeep. Exact care requirements depend on the system and finish selected for your property.
