UPVC Cladding

Service Details

UPVC cladding, fascias, and soffits are a practical, cost-effective solution for protecting and refreshing building exteriors. At Capital Roofing, we install UPVC products as part of our broader roofing and building envelope service, and they are a natural complement to the roofing work we carry out on residential and commercial properties.

UPVC (unplasticised polyvinyl chloride) is a rigid, weather-resistant material that does not rot, warp, or require painting. When installed correctly, UPVC fascias, soffits, bargeboards, and cladding panels will maintain their appearance and performance for 20 to 30 years with nothing more than occasional cleaning. For housing associations and property managers responsible for large numbers of units, UPVC eliminates the recurring cost and disruption of painting timber fascias and soffits, which typically need attention every 5 to 7 years.

We supply and install UPVC cladding from leading UK manufacturers. Products are available in white, woodgrain effects, and a range of colours to suit the building design and any planning requirements. For residential properties, the most common work involves replacing deteriorated timber fascias and soffits with UPVC equivalents, often at the same time as a re-roofing project. Combining the work saves on scaffolding costs and minimises disruption.

On commercial and industrial buildings, UPVC cladding is used to protect and insulate walls, cover unsightly substrates, and improve the building appearance. Cladding panels are available in various profiles, including shiplap, tongue and groove, and flat panel, and can be installed vertically or horizontally depending on the design.

Proper installation is required for UPVC products to perform as intended. Ventilation behind the cladding or soffit must be maintained to prevent condensation and timber decay in the underlying structure. Expansion gaps must be provided to accommodate the material thermal movement. And the fixings must be appropriate for the substrate and the expected wind loads. Our installers understand these requirements and ensure that every installation is carried out correctly.

We often install UPVC products as part of a wider roofing refurbishment package, particularly for housing association programmes where the client wants to address the roof covering, fascias, soffits, and rainwater goods in a single project phase. This integrated approach is more efficient and delivers better value than procuring the work separately.

Our UPVC cladding work is fully guaranteed, and we carry complete insurance for all installations. For a quotation on UPVC cladding, fascias, soffits, or bargeboards in London and the South East, please contact our office.
