Roofs, roofline & repairs
The look of timber, without the upkeep.
Composite cladding boards are formed to look like painted or stained timber weatherboard, but they do not need painting, will not rot and hold their colour. They are used to finish gables, dormers, bay surrounds, porches and extensions, and to smarten up tired render or tile hanging.
We fix the boards to a treated battened frame with a ventilated cavity behind, so the wall can breathe and the boards stay straight. Where the cladding meets windows, doors and the roof line, trims are detailed to shed water — the part of a cladding job that decides whether it still looks right in ten years.
Close to a boundary, Building Regulations restrict which cladding materials can be used. We check this at survey, along with the condition of the wall behind.

I've had all my windows and doors fitted by Carl he came highly recommended by a family member. The whole process was very easy — Carl helped me through selecting and choosing my windows and doors, him and his team were very meticulous removing and fitting the windows and doors, everything was cleaned up and spotless at end of shift. Highly recommended.

We recently had all the windows replaced at our home in Port Talbot by Carl Hancock, honestly couldn't be happier with the results. From the initial quote through to the final installation, Carl was professional, reliable and always happy to answer any of my questions or queries. The quality of the new uPVC windows are excellent — they have completely transformed the look of our home. If you're looking for a trusted fitter of uPVC windows, bifold doors or any style of double glazing, Carl is the man! Excellent workmanship, fair pricing and outstanding customer service from start to finish. A 5 star experience.

Questions
Composite cladding: your questions.
Composite or uPVC cladding?
uPVC cladding is lighter and cheaper. Composite gives a more convincing timber look and a heavier, more solid board. We can show you samples of both.
Can cladding go over render?
Yes, on a battened frame, as long as the wall behind is sound and dry. We check for damp at survey.
Does composite cladding need maintenance?
An occasional wash. No painting or staining.
Do I need planning permission for cladding?
Cladding a house is often permitted development where the materials are similar in appearance to the existing ones, but the rules differ in conservation areas and for some properties. We flag anything that needs checking.
