Summit Cladding

Summit Cladding is a trusted, family-run business with over 30 years of specialist experience providing complete roofline solutions across London, Essex, Hertfordshire, and surrounding areas. Based at the Seebed Centre in Loughton, we have built an exceptional reputation for delivering high-quality craftsmanship, professional service, and long-lasting results that homeowners can depend on.

Since establishing the company in 1988, founder Steve Gelb has personally overseen every project, ensuring that each customer receives the same attention to detail and commitment to excellence that has defined our work for over three decades. Our dedication to quality has earned us over 80 five-star Google reviews, with customers consistently praising our professionalism, tidy work practices, and the personal touch that sets us apart from larger, less attentive companies.

Our Comprehensive Range of Services Wall Cladding Solutions

Summit Cladding specialises in both uPVC and premium James Hardie fibre cement cladding systems. Both options provide durable, cost-efficient, and attractive solutions designed to protect and enhance your property for decades to come. The choice between materials depends on your preferred style and the architectural character of your home.

We take particular pride in our expertise with James Hardie products, which offer exceptional durability and a sophisticated finish. During your free initial consultation, Steve brings a comprehensive selection of samples to your home, allowing you to see and feel the quality of materials firsthand before making your decision.

Our cladding installations include Ecoscape composite systems, traditional timber cedar options, and modern cement board solutions. Recent projects across the region include everything from cobblestone-effect cement cladding to contemporary slatted composite systems in premium finishes.

Soffits, Fascias, and Bargeboards

Our extensive range of soffits, fascias, and bargeboards are guaranteed not to rot, fade, warp, split, or crack for a full 10 years. These essential roofline components protect your property from weather damage while providing a clean, maintenance-free finish.

What distinguishes our service is thoroughness. Our experienced team of nine fitters conducts a complete inspection of your existing rafters to ensure they are free from rot and weather damage. If any deterioration is discovered, we address and repair it at no additional cost. This attention to detail ensures your new roofline components are installed onto sound structural timber, providing the solid foundation necessary for decades of trouble-free performance.

Guttering Solutions

Summit Cladding specialises in removing outdated concrete guttering and replacing it with state-of-the-art PVC systems. Concrete guttering presents numerous problems including excessive weight, cracking, leaking, and damage to fascias and walls. Our modern PVC guttering is lightweight, durable, and exceptionally cost-efficient, carrying BBA approval and a 10-year guarantee.

Unlike concrete, PVC guttering will not freeze, warp, rust, or crack, even in harsh British weather conditions. Installation is precise and professional, with careful attention to proper falls and drainage to ensure optimal year-round performance.

Bespoke Timber Frame Door Canopies

One of our most distinctive services is the design and installation of handcrafted timber frame door canopies. These are not factory-produced units, but genuinely bespoke creations individually designed to complement the style and period of your home.

Our specialist craftsmen build each canopy piece by piece, creating traditional, lead, or tiled canopies that enhance your property's character and provide practical protection from the elements. Whether your home is Victorian, Edwardian, or contemporary, we design canopies that look as though they have always been part of the building's original architecture.

The Summit Cladding Difference Personal Service from Start to Finish

As a family business, we understand the importance of trust when inviting tradespeople into your home. Steve personally handles initial consultations, providing expert advice without sales pitches or pressure tactics. You'll receive clear explanations of the process, transparent cost breakdowns, and honest recommendations based on three decades of experience.

Throughout the project, Steve visits both during installation and after completion to ensure everything meets our standards and your satisfaction. This level of personal oversight is something larger companies cannot provide, and it's a cornerstone customers consistently mention in reviews.

Expert Craftsmanship and Professional Standards

Our team of nine experienced fitters are highly trained in the latest installation techniques and building regulations. The roofing industry has evolved significantly over 30 years, and we have ensured our knowledge and practices have kept pace.

Customers regularly comment on the exceptional tidiness of our work sites. We understand building work can be disruptive, so we minimise mess, protect your property, and leave everything clean at the end of each working day. This professional approach extends to every aspect of our service, from initial quote through to final cleanup.

We exclusively install industry-leading products we trust to deliver long-term performance. All our work is backed by comprehensive 10-year guarantees, giving you complete peace of mind that your investment is protected.
