Cost of recladding a leaky home

Signs that you have a leaky home include unexplained water or dampness, swelling of fibreboard skirting, damp or rotting carpets, unexplained mould growth or staining.

The cost of repairs will depend on the nature and extent of the damage. This can only be discovered by a property inspection after which time a scope of works is drawn up.

The problems could be fixed by a targeted repair or require a full reclad.

In addition to replacing exterior wall claddings, you may need additional work to repair elements such as window flashings if they have contributed to the problem.

Don't delay in getting an inspection. Once water has penetrated cladding it can cause damage to the wooden structure of the building.

But if you are recladding, you have the opportunity to modernise, create a different look or add new elements to your home and this can actually increase the value.

Repairing the home is the only option if you are thinking of selling. Selling a leaky home even at a discount is difficult. Disguising the problem from potential buyers can amount to fraud if uncovered and if the problem is disclosed, it’s going to lower the property’s value.
