Why do you need to replace your recladding?
”We were referred to Terence at Peaky Builders after a shocking and disappointing experience by another renovation company. The experience we have had with Terence and his team was exceptional.
Terence kept communication high and we knew what was happening at every step of the way. The fixed price meant there were no unexpected surprises either, which was so important given how we had budgeted for the project. 1000% would use again, wouldn't consider any other renovation company. Terence and the team are professional and really good people. We knew how to have a laugh along the way too!”

Why recladding isn’t optional, it’s essential
Moisture trapped behind failed cladding can rot framing, weaken structural timber and lead to hidden mould. The longer you wait, the worse and costlier the repairs become.
Peaky Builder's experienced team will uncover the full extent of the problem and repair compromised framing. We will apply advanced waterproofing systems and install new cavity cladding to leave you with a dry, secure home.

Signs your home needs recladding
2. How do I know if my home is leaking or failing?
Look for cracked plaster, swollen skirtings, musty odours or stained ceilings. Even small cracks can let water in.
Peaky Builders carry out a full moisture inspection and give you an honest assessment before any work begins. There's no guesswork and no pushy sales approach, just clear information you can trust.
Protect your investment and boost resale value
Yes. A professionally reclad home meets current building standards and removes the stigma of a leaky home, restoring buyer confidence and lender approval.

Opting for a full reclad offers a range of benefits that go well beyond what targeted repairs can achieve:
● Meets today’s standards. Your home will be upgraded to comply with the current Building Code requirements (E2/AS1).
● Peace of mind with certification. Because the work is done under a new Building Consent, you’ll receive a new Code of Compliance Certificate for the repairs.
● Comprehensive repair. A full reclad ensures all problem areas are identified and fixed properly. By removing the old cladding, the timber framing can be fully inspected and treated for rot or decay—especially important for homes built between 1987 and 2003 that may have untreated timber.
● Restored property value. A full reclad can restore, and in some cases even increase, the value of your home—making it easier to sell in the future.
7. Do I need to reclad the whole house?
Reasons choose a full reclad
How much does recladding cost?
Extent of damage: More damage means more repairs and higher costs.
Material choices: The type of cladding material you choose can vary in price.
House size and design: Larger or more complex homes will cost more to reclad.
Structural issues: Any additional structural repairs will add to the overall cost.
Improvements: Most homeowners take the opportunity to replace windows, roofing and other exterior features as this is the time it is most cost effective.
Peaky Builders works with architects to help you select a finish that fits your design goals, budget and home’s character.
