When it comes to home improvements, cladding can sometimes get overlooked in comparison to other priorities you may have for your home. Although planning that extension or bathroom renovation will improve your home, cladding is also an important component of the appearance of your house, not only to visitors and passersby but also yourself. Not only can PVC roof cladding enhance the appearance of your home but it is also extremely durable and is far more resistant to bad weather compared to old fashioned cladding and timber which tends to rot over time.

Cockfosters resident, Mrs Yapanis gave us a call as she wanted a free standing cover to the picnic table in the garden so that she could enjoy it all year round. We designed a free standing cover which matched up with the conservatory at the back of the house. The roof of this was made of polycarbon and we finished it in a dark brown colour to ensure protection from the sun. We also fitted spotlights into the ceiling so that Mrs Yapanis could enjoy the canopy in the evening. What do you think of this outdoor canopy?

Summit Cladding were called to a home in Wanstead, East London to repair and improve the front exterior of a home. We removed all the old timbers and replaced them with a Eurocell OG Fascia Board. The old wooden finule was completely rotten so we had it copied to the exact specifications but in Hardwood and painted it white to match the ogiginal 1920’s woodwork that the property featured. We then painted the brick work and cut holes in the replacement PVC bargeboards to ensure that it matched the existing features.
