The cladding of your home is the external layers, with cladding often coming in prefab boards or panels. These panels or boards are then attached to the exterior walls of your home.
When strategically placed around the property, it's panelling or cladding, but when they cover the whole building, the term cladding is used.
Cladding helps protect and insulate homes, making property even more comfortable and welcoming than it would be without cladding. Cladding is available in an extensive range of colours and materials, so you should find a solution which is ideal for you.

Anyone whose house is in direct sunlight and looking to maintain a cooler temperature will find uPVC an excellent choice. The standard of insulation from this cladding is excellent considering its more affordable price, which comes in at around £20.

Metal cladding isn’t commonly found on many homes, but it is a typical choice of the commercial sector, and many agricultural setups. You'll be familiar with steel frame solutions, but for residential property, a structural insurance provider will likely disapprove of this option.

Tile cladding is more of an internal option, but it can be used outside of homes. If you are looking to create a pattern or a stylish welcome at your home, tile cladding is a great option.
Tile cladding offers tremendous insulation in colder climates, and there are good reasons to opt for this solution, including enhanced kerb appeal.
Basic tiling starts at £28, but the price increases quite quickly for more intricate styles or advanced features. Please contact us for detailed tile cladding installation costs.
Glass cladding provides a highly contemporary look, and some of the leading buildings worldwide opt for glass fronts. This is largely a maintenance free solution, and it is a weather-resistant option, with fire resistance options available.
There are many positive aspects to glass cladding. Still, the main drawback is the high price, and it is usually best reserved for commercial enterprises where the owner can afford a significant bill.
As you saw with the basic cost of cladding, there is a significant range of prices on offer with external house cladding. This is good because it ensures there is something for everyone and that no matter your budget, there will likely be an option that is right for your needs.
Of course, the cladding cost is just one of the aspects to consider when it comes to improving a property; labour, other materials, costs of local tradespeople, specialist equipment, the size of the property, the condition of the house and the location are all actors which see the price vary depending on fixing methods and other issues.
Going by the price per square metre, uPVC and fibre cement cladding are the lowest cost options for cladding your home. These are both top-rated options, which aren’t solely down to price.
You can protect your home to an acceptable standard with these cladding solutions, and if you would like to discuss your options or any aspect of house cladding cost, contact WeDoRender.
While each project is unique, it is possible to look at the average costs for cladding a house.
According to Checkatrade, as of the summer of 2022, the average cladding cost for a small, single-storey bungalow or single storey property ranges between £2,100 and £4,200. This price includes material and labour costs. For a two-bedroom property, again, for work and material, you are looking at the cost of between £3,500 and £5,500.
Sadly, there is no such thing as the best exterior cladding solution that is right for everyone or every home. Some properties might benefit from brick cladding, matching an existing style and maintaining the look of the local area.
In other properties or communities, uPVC cladding or even rainscreen cladding is likely an excellent option.
While cost is an issue, the benefits of external cladding and external wall insulation often pays for itself over time.
When reviewing the cost, don't forget to balance this with the benefit you enjoy from well insulated external walls.
You can also see that in the right circumstances, glass and metal cladding solutions work very well, so you need to work out which is suitable for your needs.
