Exterior Cladding

Exterior Cladding

Exterior cladding protects Norwich properties from the elements while giving walls a clean, modern finish. We install and replace cladding on homes and commercial buildings across the city, using materials suited to Norfolk's wet winters and coastal winds.

What's involved

Exterior Cladding in your area

Exterior cladding is a protective outer layer applied to the walls of a building, either as part of a new build or to upgrade an existing structure. It is popular on Norwich homes built in the 1960s–1980s, as well as on commercial premises, farm buildings, and extensions where bare brickwork needs weatherproofing or a visual refresh.

The work starts with a full inspection of the existing wall surface. We check for damp, damaged render, or structural issues before any cladding goes on — fitting cladding over a problem wall only traps moisture and makes things worse later. We then install a ventilated timber or metal frame, fit the chosen panels (uPVC, fibre cement, composite timber, or metal), and seal every joint and edge to prevent water ingress. On most Norwich semi-detached houses the full job takes two to four days.

A professional installation matters because poorly fitted cladding is one of the most common causes of hidden damp in Norfolk properties. DIY attempts frequently leave gaps at window reveals, soffits, and corners where water gets behind the panels. We carry full public liability insurance and all work is completed to BS 8000 standards.

When you call us for a survey, we measure the area, discuss material choices, and give you a written fixed-price quote — no hidden charges for scaffolding or waste removal. Most residential cladding jobs in Norwich are complete within a week from start to finish. We back all installations with a ten-year workmanship guarantee.

Exterior wall cladding installation in Norwich typically costs between £80 and £150 per square metre, depending on the material chosen and the complexity of the wall profile.

Questions

What people ask first.

A new pitched roof on a standard three-bedroom semi in Norwich typically costs between £5,500 and £9,000, depending on the size of the roof, material chosen, and whether any timber repairs are needed. Larger detached properties or those requiring natural Welsh slate will sit at the higher end of the range. We provide a fixed written quote after a free site survey so there are no surprises.
If your roof has repeated leaks in different areas, tiles that are spalling or absorbing water heavily, or an original felt lining that is visibly torn and sagging in the loft, a full replacement is usually more cost-effective than ongoing repairs. A useful rule of thumb is that if you've spent more than £800 on repairs in the past three years and problems persist, a replacement will save money over the next decade. We'll give you an honest assessment during a free survey.
Minor repairs such as replacing a few cracked tiles or re-pointing ridge mortar in Norwich typically cost between £150 and £450. More involved repairs — replacing a lead flashing, re-laying a valley, or fixing storm damage across a larger area — generally range from £350 to £900. We provide a fixed price after inspection so you know exactly what you're paying before any work begins.
Flat roof installation in Norwich typically costs between £70 and £120 per square metre for EPDM rubber or GRP fibreglass systems. A standard single-storey extension roof of around 20 square metres would therefore cost in the region of £1,400 to £2,400 fully installed. The final price depends on deck condition, the system chosen, and drainage requirements — we provide a fixed written quote after a free survey.
For a standard three-bedroom semi-detached house in Norwich, fascia and soffit replacement typically costs between £800 and £1,600. The price depends on the total roofline length, whether rafter feet need repair, and the guttering system you choose. We provide a fixed written quote after a free roofline inspection so you know exactly what you're paying before any work begins.
Replacing the lead flashing around a chimney stack in Norwich typically costs between £250 and £550. A full lead valley replacement on a pitched roof will usually fall between £400 and £900 depending on the length and access. We give you a fixed price after inspecting the roof, with no hidden costs.
A chimney rebuild in Norwich — covering scaffold, new matched brickwork, fresh flaunching, and lead re-flashing — typically costs between £1,200 and £3,000. The price varies based on how many courses need rebuilding, the stack height, and whether specialist reclaimed brick is required to match the original. We provide a free, detailed written quote after a survey.
Chimney take-downs in Norwich typically cost between £900 and £2,500 including scaffold, dismantling, roof reinstatement, and waste removal. The main factors affecting price are the height and size of the stack and how much new tiling or slating is needed to make good the roof. We include everything in a single fixed quote — no extras for skips or scaffold hire.
