External Cladding

Transform and protect exterior walls with low-maintenance external uPVC cladding. Unlike timber, plastic cladding never needs painting or staining — just an occasional wash down. We stock three complete cladding systems, each with its own matching trims:

  • 150mm Shiplap Cladding — the classic weatherboard look in White, Anthracite Grey, Light Oak, Rosewood, Woodland Grey and Black Grain. Available in 2.5m and 5m boards, finished with shiplap cover joints, universal channel and corner trims.
  • Double Embossed Cladding (333mm x 5m) — wide-board wood-effect siding in eight colours including Anthracite Grey, Chartwell Green and Sand. Use the colour-matched 2-part edge trims, corner trims and H joint trims from the same range.
  • Woodland Timber Cladding (333mm x 5m) — realistic timber-grain boards in eight finishes from Pine Naturale to Slate Grey, completed with aluminium 2-part corner, edge, angle and H-bar trims plus starter and ventilation profiles.

Each 333mm x 5m board covers 1.67m²; each 150mm x 5m shiplap board covers 0.75m². Measure your wall area, deduct openings, and add 5–10% for cutting waste. All systems fix to standard battens and include ventilation options for a healthy wall build-up. Collect from 21 UK branches or get free delivery over £150.

What is External Cladding?

External cladding boards protect and transform the outside of a property — on homes, extensions, garden rooms, garages and outbuildings. As well as improving kerb appeal, they add a weather-resistant layer that helps keep walls dry and reduces the risk of damp. Made from durable uPVC, our boards won't rot, warp or need repainting like timber.

Why choose uPVC external cladding?

  • Low maintenance — no painting, staining or resealing; just an occasional wash down.
  • Weatherproof — resists rain, frost and UV without rotting, warping or fading.
  • Manufactured in the UK — quality-controlled boards you can rely on.
  • Up to 15-year guarantee — long-term peace of mind.
  • Quick to fit — interlocking boards with matching trims, suitable for trade or DIY.
  • Complete systems — every range has colour-matched trims, joints and profiles for a neat finish.

Choosing External Cladding

Choosing between the three systems

150mm shiplap is the traditional weatherboard profile and suits a smaller elevation, a porch or a period outbuilding. Double embossed at 333mm covers a large wall in far fewer boards with a painted-timber look. Woodland timber, also 333mm, carries a realistic grain for where the timber look is the point.

Measuring up

A 333mm x 5m board covers 1.67m²; a 150mm x 5m shiplap covers 0.75m². Measure the wall, deduct openings, divide by the coverage and add 5 to 10 per cent for cuts. Trims are separate and measured by the metre for every corner, edge and junction.

Build-up matters

All three fix to battens with a ventilated cavity behind, with starter and ventilation profiles at the bottom of the run. Fixing boards flat to masonry traps moisture against the wall, which is the one mistake that undoes an otherwise good job.
