What is Recladding?
Recladding involves the removal and replacement of a home’s external cladding system to address weathertightness issues, improve durability, and restore structural integrity. It is often required for homes affected by leaks, rot, or outdated building systems, particularly in properties built during the leaky homes era.
We ensure your home is not only repaired but brought up to modern building standards for long-term protection and peace of mind.
When is Recladding Needed?
You may need recladding if you notice:
-
Signs of water damage or leaks inside your home
-
Rotting timber or deterioration in exterior walls
-
Mould, dampness, or musty smells
-
Cracked, damaged, or failing cladding systems
-
A building report recommending weathertightness remediation
If you're unsure, we can assess your property and provide honest, practical advice on the best next steps.
Speak with our team about your recladding project before committing to a site visit. We'll answer your questions, discuss your concerns, and provide guidance on the process so you can move forward with confidence.
