Monmouthshire is a county of stone farmhouses, Georgian market-town houses and generous rural plots. That is exactly the kind of building stock a run of timber cladding has to be drawn around, so we allow for it at survey stage rather than on fitting day — walls get checked for wind and plumb, floors for level, and the setting-out is taken from the worst reading, not the best.
How we approach it
A run of timber cladding is a permanent part of the building, so it is worth setting out properly. We take the survey, agree the drawings, machine the parts in the workshop and fit in Monmouthshire in one visit wherever the programme allows.
How we build it
Hardware is specified to the weight it is carrying, not to a price point. Soft-close runners are rated for the drawer load, hinges are adjustable in three planes, and sliding gear is sized so a full-height door still moves with one finger a decade later.
Finish and materials
Finishing happens in the workshop wherever possible. Sprayed paint gives an even film that brushwork cannot match, and the only work left on site is the final touch-in around scribes and fixings.

Straight answers
Timber Cladding in Monmouthshire — common questions
Is timber cladding a fire risk?
On a domestic house below 11m, standard timber cladding is generally acceptable, subject to distance from the boundary. Above 11m or on flats, non-combustible materials are required. We check the position against current regulations before quoting.
How long will it last?
Larch and cedar in a well-detailed, ventilated rainscreen give thirty to fifty years. The failures we are called to are nearly always detailing — no cavity, wrong fixings, or boards taken to ground level with no clearance.
Does cladding need a cavity behind it?
Yes. A ventilated and drained cavity on treated battens over a breather membrane is what keeps the boards dry from both sides. Cladding fixed straight to a wall will cup, and the wall behind will stay wet.
Will it all go grey?
If untreated, yes, and unevenly at first — the sheltered areas silver more slowly than the exposed ones. It evens out over two to three years. If you want it to stay honey-coloured, expect to recoat every two to three years.
Do you work with architects and builders?
Regularly. We can work to your drawings and specification, price from a schedule, and co-ordinate with the main contractor's programme. We are equally happy dealing directly with a homeowner from a rough sketch.
