South Yorkshire is a county of stone and brick terraced housing, colliery-village stock and large modern estates. 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 South Yorkshire in one visit wherever the programme allows.
How we build it
Timber is chosen for the room it is going into. Painted work is built in tulipwood and moisture-resistant MDF because they hold a crisp arris and take a sprayed finish without grain rise. Where the grain is meant to be seen we use European oak, walnut or ash, with veneers laid so the figure runs continuously across a set of doors.
Finish and materials
You can have it primed for your own decorator, sprayed in any RAL or heritage colour, or left in oiled timber. Oiled finishes can be refreshed at home; sprayed finishes are harder wearing and are what we recommend for kitchens and anything at knee height.

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 South Yorkshire — 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.
Do I need to empty the room before you fit?
Clear the working wall and anything fragile. We bring dust sheets and a vacuum-extracted saw, but fitting makes dust and we would rather your furniture was out of the way. For kitchens we will agree a sequence with you so you keep a sink and a kettle for as long as possible.
