Wall Cladding Installation Farnborough
Wall Cladding Installation services in Farnborough
We install wall cladding on Farnborough homes and their extensions, including South Farnborough’s speculative housing, laid out from the 1860s along its wide tree-lined avenues. Our own team erects the tower scaffold or scaffolding and fixes the breather membrane, battens, boards and trims.
We price every installation from a free site survey conducted by a director. You receive a written, itemised quote within 48 hours of that survey, with no hidden extras. We respond within 48 hours. The directors bring over 15 years of combined hands-on experience. We carry up to £5 million public liability insurance.
What decides how a Farnborough home is clad?
Farnborough lies in a valley between the River Blackwater and higher ground to the west, and the ground rises from the valley floor towards the fringes of the town. A house built across that rise stands taller above the ground on its downhill side than on its uphill side. The form of each wall and the finish it already carries determine how the battens are fixed, where the boards stop and how the wall is reached. On a Farnborough home, a wall cladding installation is decided by the following situations:
A semi-detached or terraced house
On a semi-detached pair or a terrace, the cladding stops at the line between your house and the next, and the team closes that edge with a trim.
Where a Farnborough home is one half of a semi-detached pair or part of a terrace, the party wall it shares with the house next door meets the front and rear walls at that line. In South Farnborough, houses stand along wide tree-lined avenues.
An extension still being built
Where an extension is still under construction, we clad its new walls as their finished face. The team fixes the membrane, battens and boards to those walls in the same order as on any other wall we clad.
New residential areas were built in Farnborough in the years after the war.
Cladding already on the wall
Where a wall already carries cladding, the team removes every existing board and keeps none for reuse. Once the boards are off, the wall takes the membrane and battens in the same way as a wall that has never been clad. That job is a cladding replacement, and we clad the wall in full as a new installation. Replacing individual failed boards is the external cladding repair service and is not part of an installation.
In South Farnborough, the houses were built from the 1860s onward.
The eaves line above the new boards
The new cladding stops at a line beneath the eaves. The team cuts the top row of boards to that line and closes the top edge with a trim. A fascia or soffit at the eaves is part of the roof, and work to either of them is a roof fascia repair.
Late-Victorian houses stand around one of Farnborough’s railway stations.
Damp or cracking to resolve before cladding
A director examines the masonry and any timber frame of each wall at the survey. Where a wall needs repair first, such as repointing, cracked brickwork or a decayed timber frame, the quote prices that work ahead of the cladding. The team completes it, including any carpentry the frame needs, before the membrane and battens are fixed.
Flood warning areas on Cove Brook cover Hawley Bridge and West Heath in Farnborough.
What do Farnborough walls mean for a cladding installation?
At the survey, a director records how each wall to be clad is built and finished.
Where a Farnborough house stands on the ground rising towards the fringes of the town, the scaffold at its downhill wall starts from lower ground and stands taller than the scaffold at its uphill wall.
Where flood water from Cove Brook stands against a house, it soaks the ground-level part of each wall before anything higher.
How do we clad a home in Farnborough?
A director oversees every cladding installation in Farnborough from the survey to the final inspection, and our own team carries out the work at each stage:
A survey of every wall to be clad
A director surveys each wall to be clad, measuring the elevation and assessing the wall behind its existing finish. We go through the board options with you at the property, including fibre cement cladding and uPVC wall cladding, and agree the board and its colour. The written, itemised quote is issued within 48 hours of that survey.
Access agreed for each wall
A director decides at the survey whether a tower scaffold or scaffolding serves each elevation. The method statement records each of those decisions, and it is agreed with you and signed before the team starts work.
Membrane and battens before the boards
The team fixes the breather membrane across each wall to be clad, then sets out the battens over it. Every batten is fixed through the membrane into the masonry or timber frame behind.
Boards fixed and every edge trimmed
The team cuts each board to fit and fixes it to the manufacturer’s specification. Every corner and edge of the cladding is then finished with a trim.
A final inspection before the scaffold is struck
A director inspects the finished cladding from the scaffold and from the ground. The team makes any minor adjustment the inspection identifies before leaving the site.

Frequently asked questions
Take a look at the Frequently Asked Questions regarding our Wall Cladding Installation service in Farnborough.
Can I stay in my Farnborough home while the cladding is fitted?
Yes. Cladding is fixed to the outside face of each wall, so the team works from the tower scaffold or scaffolding at that wall and not from inside the house. The team protects your driveway and planting around that access for the whole installation.
Does the existing wall need work before cladding in Farnborough?
Some walls need repair before cladding, and a sound wall receives the battens in its current condition. Some of Farnborough’s houses were built after the war. A batten fixing carries the weight of the boards, so it can lose its hold in any part of the wall that is loose. Any repair is a separate item on your written quote, so you see that work and its price before you accept.
Will the windows of a Farnborough home look set back after cladding?
A little. The cladding brings the face of the wall forward, so each window sits deeper in its reveal. The team finishes every reveal with a trim cut to the window frame, closing the edge between the boards and the frame.
Which walls of a Farnborough home should be clad?
The choice is between a single elevation, an extension, a porch and the whole house. A director measures each wall you name at the survey, and the written quote itemises those walls.
Who will I deal with on a cladding project in Farnborough?
One director. The same director surveys your walls, prepares the quote, agrees the access, oversees the team and inspects the finished cladding. Our own team carries out every stage of the installation, with no subcontracted labour.
Every project in our Farnborough service area begins with a free site survey conducted by a director. Your written quote follows within 48 hours of that survey.

About Farnborough
Farnborough
About FarnboroughDarrell Eugene Cornell (August 19, 1932 – October 10, 1984) was Northrop’s chief test pilot in the early 1980s. He was killed on October 10, 1984, at Suwon Air Base, while performing a demonstration flight for the South Korean Air Force (ROKAF). The F-20, 82-0062, c/n GG1001, N4416T, he was piloting stalled after a series of climbing rolls performed with flaps and gear extended. Cornell was not able to recover the aircraft from the uncontrolled stall. Cornell was also the lead test pilot for Northrop’s RF-5E Tigereye, a reconnaissance version of the low-cost F-5E fighter aircraft.
He was featured in the April 1984 issue of LIFE magazine in an article entitled “Edwards Air Force Base Pilots”, together with Doug Benefieds, Chuck Sewell, Tony LeVier, and Russell O’Quinn.
Cornell was born in Moorhead, Minnesota, grew up in Fargo, North Dakota, and was a former USAF pilot. He was an alumnus of North Dakota State University. He was also an astronaut candidate with NASA in 1963, although he was not selected to join Group 3. He began at Northrop in 1962. His display performances flying the F-20 in Paris, France (Le Bourget 1983) and Farnborough, England in 1984 are remembered by many as some of the finest ever performed at these airshows.
