Here is a recent job that Summit Cladding were called to do in Romford, RM13 To get the door canopy to look like this, we put up wooden gallow brackets which were painted with white Dulux paint.

Fungi thrive in damp conditions; and when you consider that many species occupy dead wood as their chosen habitat, it becomes clear how important it is to properly protect the timber beams and battening in your home’s construction. Believe it or not, the solution to this used to be more wood. Whilst traditional cladding... View Article
