Frequently Asked Questions
How much does composite cladding cost?
Composite cladding costs vary depending on the size of the area and profile chosen. Most residential projects in Norfolk range from £3,000 to £12,000 fully installed. We provide a free, no-obligation written quote before any work begins.
How long does cladding installation take?
Most residential cladding projects are completed within 1–3 days. Larger properties or more complex designs may take longer. We’ll confirm a realistic timescale when we carry out your free home survey.
Do you cover areas outside Norfolk?
Yes — we install composite cladding across Norfolk, Suffolk and Cambridgeshire, including Norwich, Ipswich, Cambridge, King’s Lynn and surrounding areas within approximately 50 miles of Norwich.
Is composite cladding better than timber?
Composite cladding outperforms timber in most situations. It requires zero maintenance (no painting, staining or treating), is resistant to rot, insects and moisture, and typically carries a 25+ year guarantee. Timber cladding requires regular treatment to maintain its appearance and integrity.
Does composite cladding require planning permission?
In most cases, composite cladding does not require planning permission as it falls under permitted development. However, if your property is listed or in a conservation area, you may need consent. We can advise during your free survey.
What guarantee do you offer on composite cladding?
All our composite cladding installations come with a written workmanship guarantee. The composite boards themselves carry a manufacturer’s guarantee of 25 years or more. We are FENSA registered and fully insured.
