Cladding in Tettenhall
uPVC and composite cladding for gables, dormers and full elevations, fitted on battens with ventilation so the wall behind stays dry. Across the city on the west side.
Cladding for Homes in Tettenhall
We are selective about cladding in Tettenhall, and we will tell you when not to do it. Victorian and Edwardian frontages here should stay as brick, tile-hung or rendered as they were designed. Where cladding does earn a place is on the later infill housing, dormer cheeks on loft conversions, and garden buildings, done in muted colours and timber-look composite that sits quietly against the period surroundings.
We cover Tettenhall and the surrounding area: Tettenhall Wood, Upper Green, The Rock, Wergs, Newbridge and beyond (WV6).

How It Works
Cladding in Tettenhall, FAQs
Probably not, and we would say so at the quote. A gable like that usually wants repointing and its details kept. If maintenance is the worry, lime repointing done once properly is the better answer, and we price it against cladding so you can compare.
Slim timber-look composite in a muted tone, fitted with minimal trims, sits best against clay tiles and period brick. Dormer cheeks are the one spot on a period roof where modern cladding genuinely improves on repeated repainting.
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.
On most houses, recladding a gable or elevation falls under permitted development, but flats, conservation areas and listed buildings have tighter rules. If your house might be affected we will flag it before any work is booked, and the council can confirm it in writing.
