Exterior cladding protects the walls of your property from the Norfolk weather while giving it a cleaner, more modern appearance. We fit a range of cladding systems to homes and commercial buildings across Diss and the surrounding area, including timber, uPVC, and composite boards. All installations are properly fixed and sealed to prevent water ingress and long-term movement.

Exterior cladding is used to weatherproof and update the external walls of a building — whether that's a tired 1970s semi in Diss, a draughty barn conversion near Scole, or a commercial unit on a local trading estate. It suits homeowners who want a low-maintenance finish and building owners looking to improve insulation values and kerb appeal at the same time.
The work typically starts with an inspection of the existing wall surface. We check for damp, loose render, or any structural issues that need sorting before cladding goes on. Battens are fixed to create a level framework, then the chosen cladding boards are installed in overlapping horizontal or vertical runs, depending on the system. All edges, corners, windows, and door openings are trimmed and sealed properly — this is where shortcuts show up later as leaks or rattling panels.
Cladding fitted incorrectly traps moisture behind the boards, which leads to rot in timber framing and damp penetrating internal walls. A professional installation includes a ventilated cavity where required and uses fixings and sealants rated for external use. Done properly, a cladding system should last 20 to 40 years with minimal maintenance, depending on the material chosen.
We survey the property first, talk you through material options and costs, and give you a written quote before any work starts. Most residential cladding jobs on a standard semi or detached house in the Diss area take three to five days. We protect surrounding areas during work and leave the site tidy each evening. Our work is fully insured and we guarantee the installation against defects.
Exterior cladding installed by a professional in the Diss area typically costs between £80 and £150 per square metre, depending on the material and complexity of the building.
