Recladding

The most common reasons homeowners in Auckland choose to reclad their homes include:

  1. Leaky Building Repairs – Many homes built between 1994 and 2004 suffer from weather-tightness issues, requiring re-cladding to prevent further damage and protect the home's structure.

  2. Modernising the Home – A fresh exterior facelift enhances curb appeal, improves energy efficiency, and adds significant value to the property.

  3. Health & Structural Concerns – Moisture-related issues can lead to mould, rot, and poor indoor air quality, impacting both the home's integrity and the occupants' health.

Re-cladding not only increases a home's market value but also ensures a drier, healthier, and more durable living environment for years to come.

Our Process

Re-cladding a leaky home follows a similar process to renovation work but involves additional compliance steps with Auckland Council. Specific inspections and approvals must be completed before the council issues a Code Compliance Certificate (CCC).

  • We conduct an on-site meeting with the client, our project manager, and a construction consultant to assess the home’s condition and discuss the next steps.

  • We arrange a pre-construction site meeting with an Auckland Council building control inspection officer, the client, our construction consultant, builder, and project manager.

    This meeting establishes the full scope of work, including compliance requirements and any additional renovation needs.

  • Throughout the re-cladding process, we coordinate with Auckland Council and relevant experts at key milestones:

    1. Removal of Original Cladding & Initial Framing Inspection – Assessing the full extent of water damage.

    2. Framing Repairs & Treatment – Replacing damaged structural components and applying necessary treatments.

    3. Pre-Wrap Inspection – Ensuring all repairs meet compliance standards before installing the new building wrap.

    4. Cladding Installation Inspection – Verifying correct installation before painting.

    5. Painting & Final Inspection – Confirming all work meets council requirements.

  • We remove existing cladding and building wrap, assess the framing, replace damaged sections, treat the structure, and install new building wrap and cladding.

  • Once all work is completed and passes the final council inspection, we obtain the Code Compliance Certificate, ensuring your home is legally compliant, weather-tight, and structurally sound.

    Our meticulous approach to re-cladding ensures the process is as smooth as possible, restoring not only your home's integrity but also your peace of mind.
