Exterior Cladding

Exterior Cladding

Exterior cladding protects the outer walls of your property from Norfolk's coastal weather while giving buildings a fresh, modern appearance. We fit timber, composite, and fibre cement cladding on homes and commercial premises across Wells-next-the-Sea and the surrounding coast. Every board is properly fixed and sealed to keep wind-driven rain out for years.

What's involved

Exterior Cladding in Wells-next-the-Sea

Exterior cladding is a layer of weatherproof material fixed to the outside of a building's walls. It serves two purposes: protecting the structure beneath from moisture, wind, and salt air, and improving the look of the property. Homes on the North Norfolk coast take a battering from onshore gales and salt-laden rain, and exposed brickwork or render can deteriorate quickly without proper protection.

The work starts with a survey of the existing wall to check for any damp or structural issues that need sorting before cladding goes on. We strip back old or failing material where needed, install a breathable membrane to manage moisture, then fix the cladding boards using corrosion-resistant fixings suited to a coastal environment. We work with timber featheredge, Cedral fibre cement, and composite panels — each with its own maintenance requirements and lifespan, which we'll explain clearly before you commit to anything.

Fitting cladding yourself sounds straightforward but the detailing around windows, doors, soffits, and corners is where problems start if it's not done right. Poorly sealed joints let water track behind the boards and into the wall, causing rot or damp that's expensive to put right. We've repaired more than a few DIY cladding jobs on holiday lets and barn conversions along this stretch of coast.

Questions

What people ask first.

A new roof on a typical three-bedroom house in the Wells-next-the-Sea area costs between £6,500 and £10,000. Larger roofs, natural slate, or complex hip-and-valley designs will sit toward the top of that range. We provide a fixed written quote after a free survey so you know the exact cost before we start.
If more than 25–30% of the tiles are cracked, slipped, or porous, or if the felt underlay is visibly sagging or failing, a replacement is usually more cost-effective than ongoing repairs. We'll give you an honest assessment during a free roof survey and won't recommend a replacement if repairs will do the job properly.
Most common roof repairs in Wells-next-the-Sea — such as replacing a few broken tiles, re-bedding ridge tiles, or resealing a flashing — cost between £150 and £600. More involved work like re-pointing a full chimney stack or replacing a valley will sit toward the higher end. We provide a free written quote before starting any work.
A new EPDM or GRP flat roof in Wells-next-the-Sea typically costs between £70 and £120 per square metre, including deck preparation, edging, and all trim details. A standard single-garage roof of around 15 square metres would therefore cost in the region of £1,100 to £1,800. We provide a fixed written quote after a free inspection.
For a typical semi-detached house in Wells-next-the-Sea, fascia and soffit replacement across one elevation runs from around £600 to £900. A full four-elevation job including guttering replacement typically comes in between £1,200 and £1,800. We always inspect the rafter feet first — if there's rot to treat, that adds to the cost but we'll tell you upfront.
Replacing the lead flashings around a chimney stack in Wells-next-the-Sea typically costs between £350 and £700. A full lead valley replacement on a medium-sized roof runs from around £500 to £1,200 depending on the length of the valley and whether the underlying boards need attention. We give fixed quotes after a survey, not estimates over the phone.
A standard chimney stack rebuild in Wells-next-the-Sea — dismantling to sound brickwork, re-laying in matching brick, new lead flashings, and renewed flaunching — typically costs between £1,200 and £2,800. The main variables are how high the stack is, how many courses need rebuilding, and whether new pots or a flue liner is required. We'll give you a fixed price after a survey.
A chimney take-down on a standard two-storey house in Wells-next-the-Sea, including scaffold, full demolition to below roofline, making good the roof covering, and clearing all materials, typically costs between £900 and £1,800. The main factors affecting price are access, stack height, and how closely the existing roof tiles or slates can be matched for the patch area.
