Marley Cedral Click Cladding

Marley Cedral Click House Cladding is the first flush fitting, fibre cement tongue and groove weatherboard product in the UK to boast a smooth, flat finish rather than an overlap. It comes in a choice of 21 different colours, ranging from a daring burnt red to a classic cream white with a woodgrain or smooth finish, so you can create the house of your dreams. 

Due to its unique composition, Marley Cedral Click Cladding is a rot, pest and warp free alternative to real wood. Its innovative ‘click clip tongue and groove system’ also means it is quick and easy to install, minimising disruption and ideal for those projects on a strict timeline. Another fantastic benefit to Marley Cedral Cladding is that it’s not only very low maintenance, but also boasts a 50 year lifetime. 

Coastline PVCU House Cladding

Available in a choice of 6 classic New England colours, including Anthracite Grey, Pigeon Blue, Taupe and Oyster, PVCU House cladding has been rigorously tested by leading regulatory bodies to ensure its safety and quality. Such tests include achieving the BS EN 13501 for fire performance and the industry trusted BBA certificate which considers everything from strength to colour fastness. 

Built using a new composite cladding system that adds up to 10-years of guaranteed weatherproof performance, PVCU House Cladding effortlessly protects and uplifts the exterior of your home. What’s really revolutionary about this particular brand of cladding is that is has minimal contraction and expansion, so will continue to both look and work great whatever the weather.

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.
