Cedral Lap Cladding Beach Hut In Portsmouth – Sky Blue Woodgrain

Service: Cedral Lap Cladding, EPDM Roofing & Roofline Replacement
Cladding: Cedral Lap Fibre Cement Cladding
Colour/Finish: Sky Blue Woodgrain

Project Overview

We completed a full exterior transformation of this beach hut using Cedral Lap cladding in Sky Blue with a woodgrain finish.

The project involved stripping back the existing exterior before installing Celotex insulation, a breathable waterproof membrane and a new treated timber batten system. The beach hut and storage boxes were then clad horizontally in Cedral Lap, with the front doors replaced with ply before being clad to match.

Alongside the cladding, we replaced the old felt roof with a Firestone rubber EPDM membrane and installed new white uPVC fascia, soffits and guttering to three sides of the hut.

Job Details and Specifications

  • Existing Materials Removed: Old cladding, felt and battens
  • New Cladding: Cedral Lap fibre cement weatherboard
  • Colour/Finish: Sky Blue Woodgrain
  • Insulation: Celotex insulation between rafters
  • Weatherproofing: Waterproof breathable membrane
  • Battens: 38 x 50mm load-tested and treated timber battens
  • Ventilation: Perforated trims to provide airflow and help prevent insects entering behind the cladding
  • Profiles: Colour-coded aluminium profiles
  • Storage: Storage boxes clad to match the beach hut
  • Doors: Front doors replaced with ply and clad in Cedral Lap
  • Roof: Firestone rubber EPDM membrane replacing the existing felt
  • Roofline: New white uPVC fascia, soffits and guttering to three sides

Benefits of Cedral Lap Cladding

  • Low Maintenance: Fibre cement requires minimal ongoing maintenance compared with traditional timber.
  • Weather Resistant: A durable choice for an exposed coastal environment.
  • Woodgrain Appearance: Sky Blue provides a traditional seaside look enhanced by Cedral’s woodgrain finish.
  • Durable: Fibre cement will not rot like traditional timber cladding.
  • Complete Upgrade: New insulation, roofing and roofline products were installed alongside the cladding for a comprehensive exterior renovation.

Project Outcome

The finished beach hut has been completely refreshed from the roof down. Sky Blue Cedral Lap cladding provides the traditional weatherboard appearance associated with a beach hut while offering the durability and low-maintenance benefits of fibre cement.

Cladding the doors and storage boxes to match creates a consistent finish, while the new EPDM roof and white uPVC fascia, soffits and guttering complete the transformation.

The whole process was superb from contacting Jack in the office who booked an appointment for me with Simon who gave me all the information I needed plus price in a friendly and professional way and after discussing it with my wife we went ahead and ordered the hardie lap cladding in soft green plus insulation!!!!!! The installation team Adam and Rich were first class and nothing was too much trouble for them and were definitely customer focused and orientated and very pleasant,polite and friendly and did the job efficiently and quickly with no fuss and tidied up as they went and did such a good job of it that you would be hard put( except for the cladding!!!!) to know that we had anything done!!!!! I would recommend the gutter and cladding company to anyone!!!! Well done the whole team!!!!!👍

Having seen the first rate job done by The Gutter and Cladding Company on one of our neighbours property we decide to use them to replace our old and tired cladding. We were not disappointed. From the onset we were treated with courtesy. Everything was fully explained – the different types of cladding, the insulation and the fitting procedure. As we were unsure of which colour cladding to have, photos of the house with the different colour cladding superimposed on it were sent to us. This was a tremendous help. The fitting crew were very competent, polite and professional answering our questions and queries in a knowledgable and well mannered way. The work was carried out to a very high standard and any mess was cleaned up as they went along. We received phone calls and texts from head office checking that we were happy and keeping us up to date with any changes. Overall it was a thoroughly professional job with a lovely end result. I am more than happy to recommend this company.
