The re-clad process
The amount of repair work required to fix a leaky home depends on the extent of the damage. We’ll walk you through the re-clad process step-by-step:
An architect redesigns your home to correct weathertight issues and add desired modifications
New plans are submitted to council for consent
Scaffolding is erected and the house is wrapped to protect it from the weather
Fixtures and fittings are stripped
Existing cladding & windows are removed
Compromised timber is identified by an independent weather tightness expert / assessor
Concrete NIB walls are poured to comply with ground clearance requirements (for surface water drainage)
Damaged / rotten timber framing is replaced
Frame saver (a highly effective fungicide), is applied to existing timber to preserve it
New insulation is installed
Building paper is installed
New cavity system is formed
New cladding is installed
Wrapping and scaffolding are removed
Final clean up
New Code of Compliance is arranged for your new home
