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:

  1. An architect redesigns your home to correct weathertight issues and add desired modifications

  2. New plans are submitted to council for consent

  3. Scaffolding is erected and the house is wrapped to protect it from the weather

  4. Fixtures and fittings are stripped

  5. Existing cladding & windows are removed

  6. Compromised timber is identified by an independent weather tightness expert / assessor

  7. Concrete NIB walls are poured to comply with ground clearance requirements (for surface water drainage)

  8. Damaged / rotten timber framing is replaced

  9. Frame saver (a highly effective fungicide), is applied to existing timber to preserve it

  10. New insulation is installed

  11. Building paper is installed

  12. New cavity system is formed

  13. New cladding is installed

  14. Wrapping and scaffolding are removed

  15. Final clean up

  16. New Code of Compliance is arranged for your new home
