Cladding for Commercial &
Agricultural Buildings

We install and replace cladding on commercial and agricultural buildings, handling projects from targeted panel upgrades to full external refits.

When properly specified and fitted, cladding protects external walls and improves the condition of workshops and industrial premises. 

When do you need commercial cladding repair or replacement?

Signs you might have a problem include: 

  • Visible corrosion or deterioration of existing panels 
  • Water ingress through wall systems 
  • Damage from impacts or severe weather 
  • Inadequate thermal performance 

In some cases, localised panel replacement is sufficient. For older buildings, full recladding might be a better way to improve both protection and appearance. 

Our commercial cladding services

We provide: 

  • Installation of metal cladding systems 
  • Fibre-cement sheet cladding 
  • Replacement of ageing or damaged wall panels 
  • Cladding as part of full refurbishment projects 
  • Integration with roofing, flashings and guttering 

The right system depends on building use, site exposure and your budget.  

When roof works overlap, we ensure all junctions are finished properly so the new and existing areas work together. 

Why choose commercial cladding?

Cladding is often the most cost-effective way to significantly improve a building’s condition and performance without major structural works. 

  • Can be installed while the building remains in use, so there is less impact on operations than most other refurbishment routes 
  • Addresses air infiltration and weathertightness at wall level, which is often as significant as the roof in terms of heat loss 
  • Material choice matters more on agricultural sites – corrosive atmospheres in livestock buildings require specific coatings and specifications 
  • When done at the same time as a roof, all junctions are detailed together, avoiding the problem of trades working separately and leaving details unfinished 

FAQ’s

Can cladding be replaced without removing the roof? +

Yes. In many cases, wall systems can be upgraded independently, provided junctions are detailed correctly. 

Can insulation be added during recladding? +

Yes. Recladding often provides the opportunity to improve thermal performance without altering the main structure. 

Do you carry out cladding and roofing together? +

Yes. Where both are upgraded, we make sure the wall and roof tie in properly so the building remains watertight. 

Is metal cladding suitable for agricultural buildings? +

Yes, provided the correct specification is used. Agricultural environments can be corrosive, so material choice and protective coatings matter.
