Cladding for Homes in Bilston
Cladding in Bilston is mostly an estate-house job. The postwar neighbourhoods at Stowlawn and the Lunt have gable peaks and panel sections that have been painted over decades and are ready for a permanent finish, and composite or uPVC boards over ventilated battens end that repaint cycle for good.
We cover Bilston and the surrounding area: Bradley, Stowlawn, The Lunt, Bunker’s Hill, Portobello and beyond (WV14).

What’s Included
We prepare the wall first, repointing and swapping any blown bricks, then fit the boards with proper trims and closures. On the older terraces we are honest: most front elevations are better repointed than clad, and we will say which side of that line your wall sits on.
- uPVC and composite boards in a range of colours and finishes
- Fitted on treated battens with proper ventilation
- Gables, dormer cheeks and full elevations
- Wall repaired and repointed before it is covered
- Matching trims, corners and closures throughout
- Old cladding stripped and disposed of
How It Works
Cladding in Bilston, FAQs
Usually we advise against cladding a Victorian terrace frontage, good brick and pointing is the better look and keeps the street’s character. Gable ends, rear elevations and estate houses are where cladding makes sense, and we will give you a straight opinion for your house.
Whites, creams and light greys sit well against the estate brick, and anthracite works on the more modernised streets. We bring samples so you can hold them against your own wall rather than guessing from a brochure.
Not when it is fitted with a ventilated cavity, which is the only way we fit it. Boards nailed tight to a wall trap moisture; boards on battens with an air gap let the wall breathe. The gap is the difference between protecting the wall and pickling it.
uPVC is lighter and cheaper and does the job well on most elevations. Composite boards are denser, feel more like timber, hold their colour longer in strong sun and cost more. We will show you samples of both against your brick before you choose.
Yes, single features are the most common cladding jobs we price. A clad gable or dormer cheek gets rid of the most awkward maintenance spot on the house without changing the whole front.
