Here are the questions homeowners across Bolton and Greater Manchester ask us most often about cladding. If yours isn't listed, just give us a call.
In most cases, no. Like-for-like PVC replacement rarely requires consent, but properties in conservation areas or listed buildings should check with their local authority first.
Fortex is built for long-term performance. White products carry an impressive manufacturer's guarantee, and colour options are covered for up to 10 years, backed by Freefoam's lead-free formulation.
Cladding itself provides a modest thermal benefit, but when installed with insulated battening it can contribute meaningfully to reducing heat loss through external walls.
Yes. Fortex cladding can be installed directly over brick, block, render and timber frame – no need to remove your existing wall finish before installation begins.
Fortex cladding needs very little attention. A wipe down with warm soapy water or an occasional low-pressure wash is all that's needed to keep it looking fresh year after year.
