Cladding Replacement Services

Trident Facades provides cladding replacement services where an existing cladding system cannot be retained, repaired or no longer meets the building’s requirements.

We can manage the replacement process from investigation and design through removal, preparation, installation and completion.

When Is Cladding Replacement Required?

Cladding replacement may be considered where an existing system:

  • Presents an unacceptable fire safety risk
  • Has deteriorated beyond practical repair
  • Has defective components
  • Has inadequate fire performance
  • Has persistent water ingress
  • Has reached the end of its serviceable life
  • Cannot achieve the required performance following repair
  • Requires replacement as part of a wider façade remediation strategy

The decision to replace should be based on the evidence available for the building and the requirements of the remediation project.

  • Review of existing survey and assessment information

Designing The Complete Façade System

Replacement cladding needs to work as part of the complete external wall system.

Depending on the building, this may include consideration of:

  • Cladding and support systems
  • Insulation
  • Cavity construction
  • Cavity barriers and fire stopping
  • Windows and balconies
  • Roof and wall interfaces
  • Weathering and drainage
  • Thermal and fire performance

The replacement system is developed around the existing building, the remediation requirements and the approved design.

From Existing Cladding To Replacement

Where required, our dedicated survey team, Trident Facades Surveys, can investigate the existing façade and carry out opening-up before replacement works begin.

Trident Facades can then coordinate the wider process:

Investigation → Strategy → Design → Removal → Preparation → Installation → Completion

This can be provided as a complete remediation service or as a standalone cladding replacement package.
