What is Recladding?

What recladding involves, when you need it, and what it achieves.

What is recladding — RB Thomas

Recladding is the process of removing a home's existing exterior cladding, repairing any damage underneath, and replacing it with a new, properly detailed weathertight system. It's the definitive fix for leaky and weathertight-failed homes.

What's involved

  • Stripping back the old, failed cladding
  • Assessing and repairing the framing, building wrap and flashings underneath
  • Replacing damaged joinery where needed
  • Re-cladding with a modern, durable system, correctly detailed
  • Getting the weathertightness signed off

What it achieves

A recladded home is warm, dry and healthy — no more damp, mould or hidden rot — and the appearance and value of the home are lifted in the process. Done properly, it solves the problem for good.
