Exterior Cladding – Choosing the Right Materials for Longevity

The right exterior cladding does more than enhance kerb appeal—it’s your home’s first line of defence against harsh weather and wear. At Core Handyman Services, we help Chelmsford homeowners make smart, durable choices that save money and reduce long-term maintenance.

Why Cladding Matters

Cladding protects your home’s structure from rain, wind, and temperature changes. It also acts as insulation, improving energy efficiency. But not all cladding materials are created equal. Choosing the right one for your property and budget can make all the difference.

Popular Cladding Options

  • UPVC: Low-maintenance, weather-resistant, and cost-effective.

  • Composite Cladding: A mix of wood and plastic, offering durability and a modern look.

  • Timber: A classic, natural choice—great for traditional homes but requires regular treatment.

  • Fibre Cement: Tough, stylish, and ideal for withstanding the elements.

The Core Handyman Advantage

We don’t just install—we advise. Our team walks you through options based on Chelmsford’s climate, your home style, and your maintenance preferences. We ensure it’s installed correctly the first time, protecting your investment for years to come.
