What this service is, and who it is for
What the service covers
Cladding is a covering fixed to walls, inside or out, to protect them and change how they look. We install cladding on battens, keeping every board straight and level, and finish corners, windows and door openings neatly.
Ask about the finish you have in mind and we will talk through the options for your building.
Who it is for
Homeowners updating the outside of a house, extension, garage or garden building, and those who want a feature wall indoors.
When you need it
When render or brick looks tired, when an extension needs finishing, or when you want to change the look of a building without rebuilding it.
Why a professional matters
Cladding must be fixed correctly with space for air and water to escape. Boards that are not straight show immediately, and poor detailing at openings lets water in.
What it costs you to leave it
Water getting in
Poorly detailed corners and openings let rain behind the cladding, which can rot battens and damage walls.
Wavy lines
Boards that drift out of level are obvious from the street and hard to correct later.
Common mistakes
No ventilation gap, too few fixings, and rushing the trims around windows and doors.

Materials, methods and variations
External cladding
External cladding is common on extensions, garages, garden rooms and gable ends. On the coast around Littlehampton and Worthing, salt air and wind make good fixing and detailing even more important.
Internal cladding
Timber cladding and slatted panels indoors create warmth and texture as a feature wall. It can be combined with a media wall for a finished look.
Materials
Timber and composite cladding each have their own look and upkeep. We will talk through the options for your building at the quote visit.
Battens and ventilation
A ventilated gap behind the cladding lets moisture escape. Battens are fixed level so the boards finish straight.
