THE CLADDING WE DO

Panels, metal, render and cladding repairs

Every cladding job is one of these four, and plenty are two: new cladding on one wall and repairs on another.

Axon and fibre cement panels

Axon boards, flat fibre cement panels and shadow clad, for additions, upper storeys, unit blocks and feature walls. Fixed over wrap with the right joiners and trims, then painted or stained.

Colorbond and metal cladding

Vertical metal wall cladding for homes, outdoor rooms, sheds and depots, framed and flashed at every corner, opening and base.

Render and render-ready board

Damaged render patched and re-rendered in a matched colour, and render-ready board fixed to new walls so the renderer has a sound, flat base.

Cladding repairs

Cracked, broken or rotted sheets cut out and replaced, flashings and sealant made good, and the new section painted to match the wall around it.

WHAT GOES WRONG

Why cladding fails, and how we fix it so it lasts

Water at the base

Sheets that run down into garden beds or paving soak up water and rot from the bottom. We cut them off clear of the ground and flash underneath.

Joins that open

Panel joins sealed with the wrong product crack and let water in. We use joiners and sealant made for the job and gap them properly.

Impact and damage

Knocks, removed fittings and old holes leave cracked sheets. We replace the sheet, or patch it when power or fittings are fixed to it.

Paint left to fail

Fibre cement and render rely on their paint. Repairs are undercoated and given two top coats to match.

FROM OUR JOB BOOK

Cladding jobs we have done

We also replace cracked cement sheet on commercial and health sites, painted to match the pattern of the wall around it.

A shadow clad wall in Belmont

The old cladding stripped off and the wall re-clad in shadow clad panels, then stained a dark timber colour. 2025.

Axon on two walls in Newtown

Axon cladding put up on two walls, with a downpipe replaced and the window trims renewed. 2020.

A depot in Anglesea

A depot refurbishment clad in Axon and Colorbond. 2021.

An outdoor room in Leopold

An outdoor area closed in: a frame built between the posts, clad in Colorbond, new flashings to the roof and walls, and double and single doors fitted. 2023.

Rotted sheets in Point Lonsdale

The bottom 600 to 800 mm of rotted cladding cut away, a flashing fitted under the cut so water runs out, six new sheets to match, and a rotted skirt replaced with milled timber. 2025.

Render repairs on a commercial site

Larger holes filled, the damaged areas re-rendered in colours matched to the walls, then undercoated and painted. 2025.

A garage filled in at Waurn Ponds

The front and side of a garage framed in and clad in render-ready board outside, ready for the renderer. 2023.

CLADDING QUESTIONS

Cladding: common questions

What is Axon cladding?
Axon is a James Hardie fibre cement cladding with vertical grooves, so a wall looks like it is clad in boards without the upkeep of timber. It goes up in large sheets and is painted once it is on.
Can you match the cladding I already have?
Usually, yes. We cut out the damaged sheet or section, fit new to match, seal the joins the way the rest of the wall is done, and paint it to match the colour and pattern.
Do you do render?
Yes. We repair damaged render, filling holes and re-rendering in a colour matched to the wall, and we fix render-ready board to new walls so they can be rendered.
Can metal cladding go on a house, not just a shed?
Yes. Colorbond and other metal wall cladding works on homes, outdoor rooms and sheds, with flashings at the corners, windows and base so the water stays outside.
What stops water getting in behind cladding?
The wrap behind it and the flashings around it. When we repair cladding that has rotted at the bottom, we slip a flashing in under the cut so water is turned out, not in.
Is painting included?
Yes. Fibre cement and render are painted alongside our carpentry, by the same team, so the wall is finished when we leave.
