Exterior cladding protects your building's walls from the coastal weather Cromer is known for, while giving it a clean, modern finish. We install timber, composite, and fibre cement cladding on homes and commercial premises across the North Norfolk coast. If your existing cladding is rotting, cracking, or letting in damp, we can strip it back and fit something that lasts.

Exterior cladding is a protective outer layer fixed to the walls of a building, sitting over the existing structure to keep wind, rain, and moisture out. It's particularly relevant in Cromer and along the North Norfolk coast, where salt air and driving rain from the North Sea accelerate deterioration of untreated brickwork and timber. Property owners often turn to cladding when render is crumbling, original timber is rotting, or when they want to overhaul the look of a 1970s or 1980s house without a full rebuild.
The work begins with a survey of the existing wall surface — we check for damp ingress, structural movement, and any areas that need remedial work before the new cladding goes on. We fix a ventilated batten framework to the wall, which allows air to circulate behind the boards and prevents condensation build-up. Boards are then fitted in horizontal or vertical runs depending on the product and the look you're after. We use fibre cement board, composite weatherboard, and treated softwood depending on your budget and the building's exposure level.
Fitting cladding correctly matters. Poorly installed cladding can trap moisture against the wall rather than shedding it, causing the very damp problems it was meant to prevent. Working at height on scaffolding also carries real risk without the right equipment and training.
We start every job with a written quote so you know exactly what's included before any work begins. Most residential cladding jobs in Cromer take between three and seven days depending on the area covered. We're fully insured and our work carries a ten-year workmanship guarantee.
Exterior cladding installation in Cromer typically costs between £80 and £140 per square metre, depending on the material chosen and the complexity of the elevation.
