The project combined 200m² of Cedral Lap cladding in C51 Silver Grey with 160 metres of new fascia, soffits and guttering, resulting in a striking, contemporary finish.

Case Study Spotlight
Cedral Lap Cladding Transformation
A key feature of this project was the installation of Cedral Lap cladding in C51 Silver Grey across the property’s facade. Cedral fibre cement cladding is widely chosen by homeowners across Essex for its ability to replicate the appearance of timber while offering significantly improved performance and durability.
Installed by Bluemanor’s expert installation team, the cladding delivers both aesthetic impact and long-term reliability. It is the ideal low-maintenance solution for properties exposed to variable weather conditions, offering excellent resistance to moisture, pests, and general wear and tear. The Silver Grey finish was carefully selected to complement the property’s scale and architecture, creating a clean, modern look that remains sympathetic to the home’s character while significantly elevating its kerb appeal.
Case Study Spotlight
Complete Roofline Upgrade with Fascia, Soffits and Guttering
In addition to the cladding installation, the property benefited from a full roofline replacement comprising 160 metres of fascia, soffits, and guttering. This upgrade played a vital role in both the visual and functional transformation of the home.
New uPVC roofline systems are designed to provide long-lasting protection against moisture ingress, preventing issues such as rot and deterioration that are commonly associated with ageing timber components. Beyond their practical benefits, they also deliver a crisp, clean finish that instantly improves the overall appearance of the property.
For this Tolleshunt Major home, the newly installed fascia, soffits, and guttering were carefully coordinated with the Silver Grey Cedral cladding, ensuring a cohesive and modern exterior aesthetic. The result is a balanced, well-finished property exterior that combines strong visual appeal with enhanced structural protection and minimal maintenance requirements for the homeowner.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the benefits of Cedral fibre cement cladding for homes in Essex?
