Wall Cladding Installation Gosport
Wall Cladding Installation services in Gosport
We install wall cladding on Gosport homes and their extensions, including the modern homes that replaced a mid-twentieth-century estate at Rowner early this century. 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 Gosport home is clad?
The villas built at Lee-on-the-Solent during its late Victorian development are red brick. On the walls of those villas, each batten fixing holds in the brickwork. 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 Gosport home, a wall cladding installation is decided by the following situations:
An upper storey above brick
Where we clad only the upper storey, the cladding stops on a level line above the ground-floor brickwork. The team fixes a drip trim along that bottom edge, so water running off the boards falls clear of the brick below. A director measures the upper storey at the survey, and the written quote prices it as its own item.
The red brick villas of Lee-on-the-Solent were built in the 1880s and 1890s.
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.
The homes at Cherque Farm, in Lee-on-the-Solent, were built in the first years of this century.
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.
The modern homes at Rowner were built early this century.
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.
At Alverstoke, a Georgian terrace survives.
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.
Gosport’s housing includes semi-detached and terraced houses as well as detached houses, flats and maisonettes, and one of its terraces is the Georgian row at Alverstoke.
What do Gosport walls mean for a cladding installation?
Seventeen miles of waterfront run around the Gosport peninsula, on Portsmouth Harbour and on the Solent. Rain driven in off that water strikes the elevations facing it, at the top edge of the boards and along the trims.
How do we clad a home in Gosport?
A director oversees every cladding installation in Gosport 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 Gosport.
Can I stay in my Gosport 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 Gosport?
Some walls need repair before cladding, and a sound wall receives the battens in its current condition. 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 Gosport 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 Gosport 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.
For a semi-detached house in Gosport, the side wall not shared with the next house is a separate option.
Who will I deal with on a cladding project in Gosport?
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 Gosport service area begins with a free site survey conducted by a director. Your written quote follows within 48 hours of that survey.

At the 2021 Census, the town had a population of 70,131 and the district had a population of 81,952. Gosport is situated on a peninsula on the western side of Portsmouth Harbour, opposite the city of Portsmouth, to which it is linked by the Gosport Ferry.
Until the last quarter of the 20th century, Gosport was a major naval town associated with the defence and supply infrastructure of His Majesty’s Naval Base (HMNB) Portsmouth. As such over the years extensive fortifications were created. Gosport is still home to HMS Sultan and a Naval Armament Supply Facility, as well as a helicopter repair base.
As part of the Renaissance of Portsmouth Harbour Millennium project, a large sundial, known as the Millennium Timespace, was installed on the harbour front in 2000. Alongside this sundial, a long meandering path of designed paving stones can be found, known as the Millennium Path; this can also be seen across the Solent in Portsmouth.
