Where UPVC Cladding Is Used

UPVC cladding is often fitted to dormer cheeks, gable ends, bay window tops and porches. It can also cover areas of old timber cladding that have started to rot. It gives a clean, even finish and protects the structure behind it from wind and rain.

More Information

Low Upkeep Compared With Painted Timber

Timber cladding needs sanding and painting every few years to stop it rotting. UPVC cladding does not rot, does not need painting and only needs an occasional wash. It comes in white and a range of colours and wood grain finishes to suit your home.

Fitting Cladding on a Solid Base

Good cladding starts with a sound base. We strip old cladding where needed and check the timber behind it. We then fix treated battens and fit the UPVC boards with the right trims at corners and edges, so water runs off rather than getting behind.

About us

UPVC cladding installation often goes hand in hand with our fascia, soffit and roofing work, particularly on dormers. We look at the whole area, check what is behind the old cladding and repair any rotten timber before the new boards go on. The finished cladding on your home in Ramsgate is neat, weatherproof and easy to look after.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does UPVC cladding last?

UPVC cladding is designed to last for many years. It does not rot, flake or need painting. Over a long time some colours may fade slightly in strong sunlight. An occasional wash keeps it looking clean and helps it last.

Can you clad a dormer in Ramsgate?

Yes. Dormers are one of the most common places we fit UPVC cladding in Ramsgate. We strip the old covering, repair any rotten timber, fit new battens and then clad the dormer cheeks and front. It can be done at the same time as a new flat roof on the dormer.

Is UPVC cladding better than timber?

UPVC cladding needs far less upkeep than timber because it does not rot or need painting. Timber can suit some homes where a natural look is wanted, but it needs regular treatment. For most dormers and gable ends, UPVC is the low upkeep choice.
