Exterior Cladding

Exterior cladding protects your building's walls from weather damage while updating its appearance. We install and repair a range of cladding systems on homes and commercial properties across Haverhill, including timber, composite, and fibre cement boards. All work is carried out with full attention to ventilation, fixings, and weatherproofing.

What's involved

Exterior Cladding in your area

Exterior cladding is a protective outer layer fixed to a building's walls to shield it from rain, wind, and temperature changes. It suits homeowners looking to improve insulation and kerb appeal, as well as commercial property owners needing a cost-effective alternative to full rendering or brickwork repair. Properties in Haverhill — particularly 1960s and 1970s builds with ageing concrete or timber frames — often benefit significantly from a properly installed cladding system.

The work typically starts with an assessment of the existing wall structure to check for damp, rot, or loose substrate. We then fix a battened framework to create a ventilated cavity before installing the chosen boards. We work with fibre cement, composite, and pre-finished timber cladding, cutting and fitting each panel to account for windows, soffits, and corners. All fixings are stainless steel to prevent rust staining, and junctions are sealed with appropriate flashing and trims.

Poorly fitted cladding traps moisture behind the boards, which leads to rot, damp ingress, and structural damage that costs far more to fix than the original job. Getting the cavity ventilation right is essential — it is not just a cosmetic finish. A professional installation also ensures the system meets current building regulations, particularly relevant if the property is used commercially or is being sold.

We survey the wall before quoting so there are no surprises on price. Most residential cladding jobs in Haverhill take between three and seven days depending on elevation size and access requirements. We remove all old materials and leave the site clear at the end of each working day. Our work carries a ten-year workmanship guarantee.

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

Questions

What people ask first.

A new roof on a standard three-bedroom semi in Haverhill typically costs between £5,500 and £9,000. Larger detached properties or those requiring natural Welsh slate rather than concrete tiles will sit at the higher end. We provide a fixed written quote after a free survey so there are no surprises on the final invoice.
If more than 25–30% of your tiles or slates are cracked, slipping, or missing, and the felt beneath has deteriorated, a full replacement is usually more cost-effective than repeated repairs. Other signs include persistent leaks despite previous repair work, widespread mortar failure on ridge tiles, and visible daylight in the loft. We will give you an honest assessment during a free survey and will only recommend a full replacement when it is genuinely the right option.
Minor repairs such as replacing a few slipped slates or repointing ridge tiles in Haverhill typically cost between £150 and £600. Larger repairs involving multiple areas, new lead flashings, or significant tile replacement will cost more, and we will confirm the price before starting work. We do not charge for a survey if the repair goes ahead.
Flat roof installations in Haverhill using GRP fibreglass or EPDM rubber typically cost between £70 and £110 per square metre, inclusive of new decking where needed. A standard garage roof of around 18 square metres would therefore cost in the region of £1,300 to £2,000. The final price depends on the system chosen, the condition of the existing deck, and the complexity of any upstands or outlets.
For a standard three-bedroom semi-detached house in Haverhill, fascia, soffit, and guttering replacement typically costs between £900 and £2,200. The price depends on the linear meterage, the profile of guttering chosen, and whether any rafter feet need repair work before the boards go on. We provide a fixed written quote before any work begins.
The most common signs are water staining on a ceiling or wall that appears after heavy rain, visible cracks or gaps in the grey metal strip where your roof meets a chimney or wall, or lead that has lifted away from the masonry. If the pointing that holds the lead into the mortar joint has cracked or fallen out, water will get in even if the lead itself looks intact.
A full chimney stack rebuild in Haverhill, including scaffold access, matching brickwork, new flaunching, replacement pots, and lead flashing, typically costs between £1,500 and £3,500. The exact price depends on the height of the stack above the roofline, the size of the stack, and how much sound brickwork remains to build from. We provide a written fixed quote after a proper inspection.
A chimney take-down on a standard two-storey house in Haverhill, including scaffold, careful dismantling to below roof level, rubble removal, and full roof reinstatement with matching tiles or slates, typically costs between £900 and £2,000. The price varies depending on the height and size of the stack and the complexity of reinstating the roof covering.
