Cladding
Internal and External Cladding
We work with the customer, and where appropriate their client, to deliver a ‘whole project’ approach to supplying materials and services. We review your requirements, the budget and the job itself, to help deliver the right solution.
By ensuring the right product is specified and that the programme of delivery is realistic, we work with all parties, including any sub-contractor, to ensure the project is managed successfully through to completion.
We have extensive experience in advising clients on material selection and careful detailing, which are key to ensuring that every project looks fantastic and meet its performance objectives.

Who Do I Ask For Advice?
As a national business our regionally located Depots provide full coverage for the majority of the UK. We pride ourselves on employing the best people and our team of specialists are always on-hand to deliver help and advice where required.
A Single-source Solution
We have developed what we believe is a first class product and service offer, which combined, provides our customers with a single-source solution for all their cladding requirements. Ranging from advice on materials and designs through to treatment and coatings.
We are happy to work with all the key stakeholders on a project, including architects, contractors and sub-contractors, to ensure the project is delivered on-time.

Process Control
We make things easier for our customers by controlling the whole process. We source the right product, using our extensive supply chain; machine the material, in one of our production centres; treat the timber as required; deliver to site on one of our own vehicles.
This process helps ensure consistently high standards, which in turn is supported by our rigorous quality control, as demonstrated by our ISO Quality Standards.
