Why Recladding Isn’t Optional – It’s Essential

Moisture trapped behind failed cladding can rot framing, weaken structural timber and create hidden mould. The longer homeowners wait the costlier the repairs.

Peaky Builder's experienced team will uncover the full extent of damage, repairs compromised framing, applies advanced waterproofing systems and installs new cavity cladding for 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 can provide a full moisture inspection and honest assessment before any work begins with no guesswork or pushy sales talk.

Protect Your Investment and Boost Resale Value

Yes. A properly reclad home not only meets current building standards but also removes the stigma of a leaky home, restoring confidence for buyers and lenders.
