Experts at getting it right

work with monolithic cladding and know how to correctly install, repair, paint and maintain it. However, without doubt, he says the ideal solution for a homeowner with direct/face-fixed monolithic cladding issues is to fully re-clad the home and bring it totally up to current building code. This option is becoming more common and Texturite, as well as undertaking the recladding work, can offer finance arrangements in some situations for this type of work and offers several re-clad options, including expanded polystyrene sheet (EPS), autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC) and eco-friendly exterior cladding systems.

Texturite understands that not everyone is in a position to do this though and a lot of their work, apart from installing cladding systems and applying plaster to new properties, is the maintenance and repairs to cladding on older homes.

‘‘Much of Texturite’s repair work comes with a seven-year warranty – we go back and check the work every year and if people re-paint again with us we give them a new warranty so it’s an ongoing service,’’ Mackfall says.

Texturite also provides a comprehensive record of maintenance which is transferable to any new owners.

He says Texturite are specialist plasterers and they know all the ins-and-outs of all types of cladding for both new-build and re-modelling projects.
