We recently completed a full exterior cladding and soffit renovation project for a semi-detached property in Heathfield, transforming both the appearance and structural condition of the home.
The project involved replacing ageing and damaged cladding around the front porch area as well as installing new cladding to the rear section of the property. While the original goal was to modernise the appearance of the house, the work also uncovered hidden structural issues that needed immediate attention.
After carefully removing the existing external cladding, we discovered that the original cladding materials were still underneath and that sections of the timber framework behind the boards had become rotten due to long-term water leak. The damaged timber had also caused part of the porch roof structure to drop over time, affecting both the appearance and stability of the entrance area.
Our team removed all damaged materials and replaced the rotten timber with new structural supports to properly reinforce the porch roof. Once the structure had been stabilised and leveled, we installed brand new white uPVC cladding and soffits to create a clean, durable and low-maintenance finish.
The new white cladding instantly brightened and modernised the exterior of the property. Combined with the fresh soffits and repaired structure, the finished result gives the home a much sharper and more contemporary appearance while also protecting the property from future weather damage.
UPVC cladding is an excellent choice for homeowners looking to improve the appearance and longevity of their property. It requires very little maintenance, is resistant to moisture and rot, and provides long-lasting protection against the elements. Unlike older timber cladding, modern UPVC systems maintain their appearance for years without the need for regular painting or treatment.
As part of this project, we also replaced cladding at the rear of the property to ensure a consistent finish throughout the home exterior. The overall transformation has significantly improved the kerb appeal of the property while resolving the hidden structural problems behind the old installation.
