The detail

What a good cladding quote includes

A good quote spells out how the job is priced and what's covered — labour, materials, prep and clean-up — so you're comparing like for like. Check what each cladding installer's quote covers before you choose.

Worth knowing: getting two or three quotes is the simplest way to land a fair price — and it costs you nothing.

  • Material specs. Exact brand, profile, finish and thickness, not 'metal cladding'.

  • Compliance certificates. Fire safety and NCC evidence for your cladding system.

  • Scaffolding. Scaffold runs to thousands, so check if it's included.

  • Scope breakdown. Removal, prep, install, flashings, trims and sealants.

  • Waste disposal. Old cladding removal and tip fees, often extra.
