Cladding Installation & Repairs NSW

Why specialist cladding expertise matters in NSW

New South Wales projects are shaped by diverse climates—from the salty air of Bondi to the bushfire-prone Blue Mountains—plus some of Australia’s strictest building codes. Hiring a contractor who lives and breathes cladding installation & repairs is the fastest way to achieve:

• Code compliance: Professionals stay up to date with NCC 2022 and local council amendments.
• Weather durability: Suitable materials and fixing systems for high UV, rain, wind and coastal spray.
• Cost control: Accurate take-offs, minimised waste and streamlined scheduling with other trades.
• Long-term safety: Correct detailing around windows, penetrations and flashings to prevent water ingress and mould.

Key services you’ll find on ArchiPro

1. New cladding installation

From boutique mixed-use towers in Sydney to farm sheds in Dubbo, NSW installers work with:

• Metal sheeting (aluminium, zinc, Corten steel)
• Engineered stone and fibre-cement panels
• Natural timber, charred timber and composite boards
• Brick slips, terracotta and ceramic rainscreens

2. Cladding repairs & maintenance

Storm damage, corrosion, failed sealants or impact cracks? Expert teams can:

• Diagnose underlying issues with moisture metres and borescopes
• Replace individual panels or full elevations
• Re-flash junctions, windows and parapets
• Apply protective coatings and routine cleaning programmes

3. Fire-compliance recladding

If your building contains combustible aluminium composite panels, specialist contractors will strip and replace them with compliant systems. For large-scale façade remediation, explore our recladding experts.

How to shortlist the right NSW contractor

Use the filters on this page to narrow by location, project value and material expertise. When reviewing profiles:

• Check licences: All installers should hold a valid NSW Contractor Licence in the applicable class.
• Review past projects: Look for examples matching your building type and exposure zone.
• Read client feedback: Verified ratings on workmanship, punctuality and communication.
• Confirm insurance: Home Building Compensation Fund (HBCF) cover is mandatory for residential work over $20,000.

Budget benchmarks

Costs vary with material, site access and complexity, but NSW averages sit between:

• Timber or fibre-cement weatherboards: $90–$150/m² installed
• Metal cladding (standing-seam, interlocking): $140–$220/m²
• High-performance composite or terracotta panels: $250–$400/m²
• Targeted repair call-outs: $600–$1,500 per elevation

Obtain at least three detailed quotes so you can compare scopes and warranty terms on equal footing.

Regulations & fire safety

Following the 2020 amendments to the Building Products (Safety) Act, owners and builders must avoid banned combustible cladding and register affected buildings. For the latest guidance, see the NSW Government’s combustible cladding information hub.
