uPVC and composite cladding for gables, dormers and full elevations, fitted on battens with ventilation so the wall behind stays dry. Fifteen minutes east of our base.
Cladding for Homes in Darlaston
Cladding in Darlaston mostly serves the council-built streets, gable peaks and porch surrounds that have taken fifty years of paint, and the converted eaves where concrete gutters have been cut away and the new fascia line wants a tidy finish above the brick. Practical uPVC and composite boards in street-appropriate colours do the job.
We cover Darlaston and the surrounding area: The Green, Kings Hill, Fallings Heath, Moxley, Bentley edge and beyond (WS10).

How It Works
Cladding in Darlaston, FAQs
Yes, neatly, the conversion leaves a new fascia line, and matching cladding or trim above the top brick course finishes it so the eaves look designed rather than repaired. We include that finish in conversion quotes as standard.
Gable peaks, they are the biggest painted area on these house types and the first to flake. A clad gable in white or cream against the red brick is the classic local upgrade and it reads as original within a week.
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.
