What to notice around older cladding boards
Identify the work needed around older cladding boards using the inspection photographs Adam supplies with your written quotation.
Support behind the finish
Tell Adam about bowed boards beneath a house gable; an inspection needs to establish whether distortion comes from the boards or their backing before the visible problem is priced.
Look beyond the older detail
The reason for looking closely at older cladding boards is that weak support behind the finish leaves boards out of line, with the adjoining concealed support battens forming part of the inspection.
Previous work needs explaining
Bring any records relating to your older cladding boards, including photographs or descriptions of earlier work, so Adam can compare the previous scope with the roof now.
A clear scope is missing
Before agreeing your cladding work, ask the roofer to explain whether distortion comes from the boards or their backing and identify the proposed work at the adjoining concealed support battens.
Check older cladding boards before agreeing the work
Understand the condition of older cladding boards before agreeing the work. Adam includes photographs of concealed support battens with a written repair description and price.

Support behind the finish in Buckingham
The clay tiled roofs near the Old Gaol and the town's older slate slopes and parapets give Buckingham a mixture of roof forms to consider when inspecting older cladding boards. Your older cladding boards need to be checked against that particular building and its concealed support battens. For a concealed gutter behind a parapet, the inspection follows the construction beyond the visible concealed support battens before work is priced. Adam is based in Buckingham and records the findings about older cladding boards himself, giving you photographs and a written explanation to support the decision.

We recently used Stormshield Home Improvements Ltd for guttering repairs, chimney repairs, and painting our fascia boards and window sills, and we couldn't be happier with the results. The team did a fantastic job from start to finish. They were professional, reliable, hardworking, and took great pride in their work. Everything was completed efficiently and the site was left tidy afterwards. We would definitely recommend Stormshield Home Improvements Ltd to anyone looking for quality workmanship and trustworthy service. We'll certainly be using them again in the future. Thank you for a great job!
Adam was great to communicate with, turned up when he said he would to quote. A storm delayed the start of work, but we were kept informed. Roof cleaned, gutters facia and soffits replaced, solar panels pigeon proofed.
Very quick response. Gave helpful advice and did a good fix of the guttering.
