Premium Aluminium Cladding Solutions in London
Aluminium cladding has become one of the defining architectural features of modern London — used on contemporary new builds, rear extensions, retail frontages and refurbished period properties looking for a sharp, modern accent. As specialist installers, Roofers in London delivers premium aluminium cladding London architects and developers depend on, combining architectural-grade finishes with serious weather protection.
Our cladding work is engineered to last decades with almost no maintenance, while integrating cleanly with the rest of your building envelope — roofing, glazing, fascias, soffits and rainwater goods. Whether you're after a single dormer cheek wrapped in standing-seam aluminium or a full rainscreen reclad of a commercial frontage, we treat the work as a finished architectural feature, not just an installation.
Why Choose This Service
Cladding is a finishing material — but it's also a weatherproofing layer. Bad cladding looks great for a year and then ripples, fades, marks at every fixing point or lets water track behind it.
Our aluminium cladding work is laid out by hand, set true to the architectural lines of the building and detailed to the manufacturer's specification. The finish you see on day one is the finish you see twenty years later. We integrate with your roofers, glaziers and electricians where needed, so the building envelope is treated as a single coordinated job.

• Non-matching extensions that benefit from a unifying cladding wrap
• Existing aluminium cladding where fixings have failed or panels have shifted

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Q: Is aluminium cladding suitable for a London period property?
A: It can be — aluminium cladding is increasingly used on dormers, extensions and rear elevations of period properties, even in conservation areas. We'll advise on what's likely to be acceptable to planning.
-
Q: Will my aluminium cladding need painting or refinishing?
A: No. Architectural-grade powder-coated and PVDF finishes are designed to last 20+ years without repainting. An occasional rinse-down keeps them looking new.
-
Q: How does aluminium cladding compare to render or brick slips?
A: Aluminium typically outlasts render and resists urban grime far better than light-coloured brick slips. It's also lighter than most masonry options, so easier to install on existing buildings.
-
Q: Is your cladding fire-safe?
A: We install only solid aluminium and approved-spec cladding systems compliant with current Building Regulations. We'll talk you through fire-rating requirements during the quote stage.
-
Q: What's the lead time on bespoke colours?
A: Custom-coloured aluminium typically has a 4–8 week lead time from order; standard colours are quicker. Total project times vary by scale and access.
-
Q: Can you match existing cladding?
A: In most cases yes — we can match colours by RAL or by sample. Profile matching depends on the original system; we'll let you know at the survey stage.
