Recladding in Auckland

Recladding is often the ideal solution for a leaky home. Rather than just patching individual issues, a full reclad project gives you the chance to not only safeguard against water-tightness problems, but also update your home’s exterior, and add market value. Newer cladding doesn’t just make a home easier to sell later on, it also makes it easier to live in.

Many benefits of recladding include chances to work on hidden areas which are not normally accessable. For example, damage to framing, flooring, or linings may not be visible until a recladding project is underway. Recladding also gives contractors a chance to upgrade your home to current Building Code requirements or add a cavity system, without expensive work to expose these areas.

Some other opportunities presented by recladding are:

• Replacement of older types of cladding with new variants, such as weatherboards.

• Treatment of untreated timber framing.

• Flashing replacements or upgrades.

• Internal layout alterations.

Residential recladding work does not require resource consent, but building consent applications are still inspected carefully by the council—more so than many other minor projects. Building consent applications need to be drafted with attention to detail, in order to assure the council that the new cladding will meet Building Code standards.
