Overview

We install rainscreen and facade cladding on new build and refurbishment projects, from the bracket and rail subframe through to the last capping. Everything except render.

The same gangs handle the subframe, insulation, panels and detailing, so there is one point of responsibility for the finish and no gap between trades.

What we do

Aluminium composite panels and metal cassettes
Fibre cement panels and weatherboard
HPL and Trespa panels
Timber cladding and cedar boarding
Bracket and rail subframe systems
Insulation, breather membranes and cavity barriers
Window reveals, heads and cills
Balcony pods, soffits, fascias, cappings and flashings
Overcladding of existing buildings

Our process

Survey to handover, in the order it happens on site.

The same sequence on every job, so your site team knows what is coming next and when.

01
Survey
We survey the substrate and set out the panel module against the drawings, and raise any clash with windows, services or structure before ordering.
02
Setting out
Datum lines and panel joints are set out so that joints line through across elevations and around openings.
03
Subframe
Brackets and rails are fixed to the structure, levelled and aligned to take the panel system.
04
Insulation and membranes
Insulation, breather membranes and cavity barriers are installed within the subframe to the specification.
05
Panels
Panels are installed to the agreed module with consistent joints and fixings, whether riveted, screwed or on a secret-fix system.
06
Reveals, flashings and cappings
Window reveals, soffits, cappings and flashings are fitted to close the system and give a clean finish.
07
Handover
Each elevation is inspected, snagged and handed over clean, with protection removed and the area left ready for the next trade.

Why contractors use us

Why main contractors bring us back for rainscreen cladding.

All systems except render
Composite, cassette, fibre cement, HPL, Trespa and timber, on brackets, rails or battens. One contractor for the whole facade package.
Detailing that finishes the job
Reveals, soffits, balcony pods, cappings and flashings are part of what we do, not an afterthought left for someone else.
Capacity to keep pace
Several gangs of 5 to 6 operatives means we can keep up with the scaffold and the programme on larger elevations.
Refurbishment and new build
We have overclad occupied office buildings as well as clad new schools, apartments and developments.
