<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cladding is the part of the building everyone sees and most owners forget about, right up until a panel fails or the insulation stops doing its job. The right contractor keeps the walls watertight, warm, and looking the part for decades. Here are seven UK cladding firms worth putting on a shortlist, with a quick steer on what each one does best.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The shortlist<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  1. AMS Cladding<\/strong> \u2014 best for end to end cladding in the North West.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Clad-IT<\/strong> \u2014 best for overcladding warehouses and cold stores.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Nationwide Industrial Roofing<\/strong> \u2014 best for industrial roofing and cladding together.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Balmore Specialist Contracts<\/strong> \u2014 best for cladding repair and replacement.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. HBMS Cladding<\/strong> \u2014 best for combined roofing and cladding packages.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. Salmon Solutions<\/strong> \u2014 best for metal cladding across mixed sectors.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  7. Progressive<\/strong> \u2014 best for large, ambitious wall and roof schemes.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    1. AMS Cladding<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Best for:<\/strong> end to end cladding in the North West. More than thirty years in, AMS Cladding handles the whole job from survey and design through to install and aftercare. Based in the North West but working nationally, they suit owners who want one firm to own the project start to finish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    2. Clad-IT<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Best for:<\/strong> overcladding warehouses and cold stores. Clad-IT live in the world of factories, warehouses, distribution centres, and cold stores. Overcladding is their strong suit, fitting new panels over a tired wall to lift the insulation and the look without a full strip out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    3. Nationwide Industrial Roofing<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Best for:<\/strong> industrial roofing and cladding together. Nationwide Industrial Roofing is the best pick when the roof and the walls need doing as one job, because it covers the full building envelope under a single contract.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Most firms on this list do the walls and stop. Nationwide Industrial Roofing fits composite wall cladding and built up metal roofs from the same programme, so the roof to wall details line up and you are not juggling two contractors. That matters on big industrial buildings, where the roof and cladding usually come off together. The company works across the whole country, handles overcladding and asbestos strip out, and backs it with repairs, maintenance, and surveys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Real jobs show the range. They paired cladding spraying with a full roof and floor refurbishment for the Orchard Group at Stadium Way, and replaced 8,000 square metres of envelope at the New Holland Tractor Plant in Basildon while the plant kept working.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    If your project is wall only, the pure cladding specialists above and below are worth a look too. If it is roof and walls, this is the one to call.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    4. Balmore Specialist Contracts<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Best for:<\/strong> cladding repair and replacement. Thirty five years of fixing and replacing industrial cladding rather than ripping it all out. Corroded panels, failed sheeting, tired steel cladding. Balmore are the people you call when the wall needs sorting, not rebuilding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    5. HBMS Cladding<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Best for:<\/strong> combined roofing and cladding packages. HBMS handle industrial roofing and cladding side by side. A tidy option when a single building needs both and you want one crew keeping the envelope consistent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    6. Salmon Solutions<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Best for:<\/strong> metal cladding across mixed sectors. Salmon Solutions fit external metal cladding on industrial units, offices, schools, and retail. That spread of sectors makes them a flexible choice if your estate is more varied than just sheds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    7. Progressive<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Best for:<\/strong> large, ambitious wall and roof schemes. Trading since the late eighties, Progressive are comfortable on the bigger, trickier jobs. Worth a quote when the scheme is too large or complex for a smaller outfit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    How to choose<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Start with the scope.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    For a wall only job, go straight to a cladding specialist near you. For repairs, Balmore. For a job where the roof is coming off at the same time, Nationwide Industrial Roofing keeps it all under one roof, so to speak. Whichever you pick, ask to see a recent project like yours and check the accreditations before you commit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
