Frequently Asked Questions about Timber cladding installation in Sidmouth
What timber is best for external cladding?
Larch and Western Red Cedar are popular - naturally durable and weather well. Treated softwood is cheaper but needs more maintenance. I'll advise based on your budget and how much maintenance you want to do long-term.
How long does timber cladding last?
Good quality cedar or larch: 30+ years with minimal maintenance. Treated softwood: 15-25 years with regular treatment. All timber cladding needs some maintenance - it's a natural material that weathers.
Does it need treating or painting?
Depends on the look you want. Untreated cedar/larch weathers to silver-grey naturally. Oil or stain maintains the wood color. Paint is an option but needs regular repainting. Most people go for oil or let it weather naturally.
What about Building Regs?
External cladding usually needs Building Control approval - fire safety, breathability, insulation all matter. I'll spec and install to current regs. This isn't a DIY job unless you really know what you're doing.
How much does cladding cost?
Impossible to say without seeing your property - depends on wall area, timber type, access, existing wall condition. Ballpark: £80-150 per square metre including materials and labor. I'll quote properly after viewing.
