Pembrokeshire is a county of rendered stone cottages, coastal second homes and exposed weather conditions. 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
Walls in Pembrokeshire are rarely square and floors are rarely level. A run of timber cladding that is built in a workshop to a nominal size will show every millimetre of that. We survey first, scribe on site, and finish so the joint line disappears.
How we build it
Moisture matters more than most people expect. Timber is conditioned before machining, and anything going into a kitchen, utility or bathroom is specified in materials that will not swell at the bottom edge. That is why the base of a well-made unit still closes cleanly after five winters.
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.

Four steps, no surprises
Survey
A joiner visits, measures the opening, checks for level and plumb, and talks through how you want to use the space.
Drawings & quote
You get a setting-out drawing and a fixed written price. Nothing is ordered until you have approved both.
Workshop
Parts are machined, assembled and finished under cover while the site carries on with other trades.
Fit & handover
We fit, scribe, adjust and touch in, then walk you through care and adjustment before we leave.
Straight answers
Timber Cladding in Pembrokeshire — common questions
Which timber should I use for cladding?
Siberian larch for durability and value; western red cedar for stability and a finer grain at a higher price; thermowood for good dimensional stability on a budget. All three can be left to silver or kept in colour with a UV-stable oil.
How is it fixed?
Stainless steel ring-shank nails or screws — never galvanised, which reacts with the tannin in larch and cedar and leaves black streaks down the elevation. Secret-fixed profiles are available where you want no visible fixings.
What board profile should I choose?
Shiplap and feather edge are traditional and shed water well. Square-edge with a shadow gap reads contemporary and needs a good membrane behind it because it is not weather-tight on its own. Vertical boards drain faster than horizontal.
Can I clad over existing render or brick?
Yes, provided the substrate is sound and the wall can take the batten fixings. It is a common way to update a tired elevation and adds a ventilated layer that helps the wall dry.
Can you match existing joinery in the house?
Yes. We take a profile of the existing skirting, architrave or door and either match it from stock cutters or have a cutter ground so the new work runs identically. Matching an old paint colour is straightforward; matching aged oak takes a sample panel and a couple of attempts, which we build into the programme.
