Recladding Surrey

Understanding how a façade has been constructed is essential before any recladding work begins. In Surrey, we carry out intrusive investigations that reveal what sits behind the external wall system, from insulation type and fixing methods to cavity barriers, fire-stopping and vapour control layers.

Because many Surrey buildings remain fully occupied during this process, we plan access and working hours carefully to limit disruption. Our teams use a combination of on-site inspections, small controlled openings, manufacturer research and document reviews to build a clear picture of the façade’s current condition.

Every investigation concludes with a detailed technical report, outlining risks, material performance and recommended remedial options specific to the building.

Our design and technical team create tailored recladding specifications for Surrey projects, ensuring every proposal meets current regulations, fire-safety guidance and local planning considerations. We balance compliance with the practical needs of the building, from thermal upgrades to aesthetic improvements.

We work closely with clients, surveyors and building control to shape a design that addresses both the original defects and long-term maintenance requirements. Where possible, we look for opportunities to enhance insulation, reduce water ingress and modernise the external appearance while maintaining architectural intent.

Fire performance is at the heart of any recladding decision. We coordinate UKAS-accredited fire testing, including BS 8414 system tests, to give Surrey clients confidence that the chosen façade system meets the latest safety standards.

This evidence is often essential for building control approval, insurance purposes and lender requirements. We provide clear documentation and support throughout the process, ensuring the chosen system is fully verified before installation begins.

Our experience covers a wide range of cladding materials and system types commonly found across Surrey.

Once the design is approved, our in-house façade installation teams deliver the full remediation works. This includes the removal of non-compliant cladding, the installation of a compliant and durable replacement system, and all associated works such as access, edge protection, hoarding and temporary weathering.

Working across Surrey means many of our projects take place in live, occupied buildings. Our resident liaison team provides clear communication, phased scheduling and support throughout the works to minimise inconvenience and maintain building operation.

We have successfully managed recladding programmes funded by major government schemes, giving us a strong track record in delivering complex remediation safely and efficiently.

Quality assurance is a central part of our Surrey operations. Each stage of the recladding programme is signed off through a structured quality-control process that includes photographic evidence, installation checklists and milestone approvals.

This approach ensures that every component of the façade, from cavity barriers to fixings, insulation and external panels, is installed correctly and in full compliance with the agreed specification. Our transparent reporting gives building owners complete confidence in the final outcome.

For Surrey projects, we work alongside independent, suitably qualified fire and regulatory specialists to confirm that every scheme meets current statutory and best-practice requirements.

These consultants are brought in early, during the design and specification phase, so they can review proposed façade systems, comment on material choices and provide pre-construction sign-off before any installation begins.

Throughout the remediation programme they undertake scheduled site inspections, verifying workmanship and detailing at key stages. On completion of the recladding works, they issue the EWS1 form and supporting documentation needed by building owners, managing agents, lenders and insurers.
