Siding we install and repair
Prices are per square metre of wall, fitted on a house of up to two storeys. The written quote adds scaffolding, stripping old cladding and waste where they apply.
Timber cladding
Cedar or larch boards, laid flat, lapped or as board and batten, left to silver, oiled or painted on site.
Fittedfrom $115 a m²
Fibre cement boards
Dense boards with a factory painted finish that holds its colour and shrugs off knocks from bikes and bins.
Fittedfrom $95 a m²
Shingles and shakes
Cedar or fibre cement shingles for gables, bays and dormers, often mixed with lap siding below.
Fittedfrom $125 a m²
Repairs and board matching
Cracked, loose or storm damaged boards replaced, with profile and colour matched to the rest of the wall.
Visit and first boardfrom $260
Soffits, fascias and trims
Corner boards, window trims, soffits and fascias renewed so the edges finish as cleanly as the walls.
Per metrefrom $48
Every quote shows the price per square metre, the wall area we measured and any extra lines, so you can see how the total was reached.
Vinyl, timber or fibre cement?
Each material earns its place on a different kind of house. Here is how they compare once the scaffold comes down.
| Material | Upkeep over the years | Where it works best |
|---|---|---|
| Vinyl | A wash with a soft brush once or twice a year | Family houses where low upkeep and price matter most |
| Cedar or larch | Oil or paint every few years, or left to turn silver | Extensions, garden rooms and houses near trees and gardens |
| Fibre cement | A repaint after many years, little else | Busy streets and walls that take knocks |
| Shingles | Like the boards they are made from | Gables, bays and dormers that want texture |
| Board and batten | Paint every several years when painted timber | Garages, barns and modern farmhouse styles |
Which materials a building may use depends on the country, its height and how close it stands to the boundary. Our surveyor confirms what is allowed on yours during the sample visit.

We bring the boards to your walls
Siding looks different on a sunny wall than on a north facing one, so the first visit happens at your house. We measure every wall, look at what is behind the old finish, and leave the samples with you for a few days if you want to live with them.
- Real sample boards in the colours you shortlisted
- Every wall measured, openings included
- A look behind the old finish for rot or damp
- Local rules on materials and appearance checked
- A written quote within three working days
Houses we have clad
A few finished projects and one repair, each photographed when the scaffold came down.

Said after the scaffold came down (example reviews)
Holding the three samples against the north wall changed our minds completely. The grey we liked on screen looked cold there, so we went with sage instead.
When they took the old boards off they found soft timber at one corner, showed us photos, and fixed it before covering anything. That is what sold us on them.
One board blew off in a storm and nobody else wanted a job that small. They matched the profile and the colour, and nobody can tell which one is new.
Questions about new siding
Can new siding go over the old cladding?
Sometimes. If the old finish is flat, dry and firmly fixed, new boards can go over it on fresh battens. Rot, damp or loose boards mean stripping back first, and some places limit how many layers a wall may carry, so we check on the visit.
Is cladding safe in a fire?
The rules on cladding depend on the country, the height of the building and its distance from the boundary. We work on houses and low buildings, and we only fit materials that are allowed for your building.
Does new siding need permission?
What needs approval differs between countries, and often between neighbouring cities. Changing the look of a house can need approval in protected areas or where a homeowner association sets the rules. We share what past jobs nearby have needed, though the local authority has the final word.
How long does a house take?
A typical two storey house takes about five days on site once the scaffold is up. Repairs and single walls usually take a day.
Can you match one damaged board?
Usually. We bring a piece to compare profiles and colours, and when a board is no longer made we suggest the closest match or a neat change at a corner.
When do we pay?
A 25 percent deposit orders the boards and fixes the start date. The balance is due after the walk round, and payment is agreed with our office directly.
