Recladding

Recladding not only revitalises your home's exterior but also creates an opportunity to enhance its functionality and value.

Whether you're looking to modernise, renovate, or extend your space, this is the perfect time to customise your home to suit your lifestyle or maximise resale potential.

For improved comfort and energy efficiency, we recommend upgrading to double-glazed windows and doors. The possibilities are endless, and an architect can help tailor the design to your budget and home’s style.

We collaborate with experienced architects and can connect you with the right expert for your project.

Architectural Redesign

The extent of repairs needed for a leaky home depends on the level of damage. Here’s an overview of the recladding process:

1. Council Consent – New modified architectural plans are submitted to the council for approval.

2. Site Preparation – Scaffolding is erected, and the house is wrapped to protect it from the elements.

3. Removal of Existing Materials – Fixtures, fittings, cladding, and windows are stripped away.

4. Damage Assessment – An independent weathertightness expert assesses the timber structure for any compromised areas.

5. Structural Compliance – Concrete NIB walls are poured to meet ground clearance requirements for proper drainage.

6. Timber Repairs – Damaged or rotten framing is replaced, and a high-performance fungicide (Frame Saver) is applied to preserve existing timber.

7. Insulation & Waterproofing – New insulation and building paper are installed.

8. Cavity System Installation – A new cavity system is formed to enhance ventilation and prevent moisture buildup.

9. Cladding Installation – The new exterior cladding is applied.

10. Final Touches – Wrapping and scaffolding are removed, followed by a thorough site cleanup.

11. Compliance Certification – A new Code of Compliance is arranged for your home.
