Which cladding and where from?
Discussion
I've had bit of my house rebuilt, its been built in blockwork.
the main bit of the house is 400ish years old, I was going to have the blockwork rendered, however I've been let down twice.
I'm thinking of cladding it now as render was just the 'easy' option.
the house is lime rendered, so i'll form an edge/join. The element thats block was only circa 120 years old.
thinking of oak feather edge. Any other ideas or links to picks of other options?

Might give some inspiration. Also, pretty maintenance free.

Thanks but that stuff and plastic is just wrong IMO on anything over 20 years old. Might give some inspiration. Also, pretty maintenance free.
No plastic!
Sawn Douglas Fir works out much cheaper than oak, has a more orange/brown colour to it initially though. Around £40 psqm
Oak would be best but is expensive- European oak does work out more cost effective- still looking around £90 psqm
This is based on a supplier we have used in London - find a timber merchant or mill local to you, pop down and have a chat. They can advise what might work best.

Just make sure any exterior changes aren’t subject to planning approval. We had to put in a separate bit of paper to get discharged from planning, with precise description of how the exterior of the building was going to be finished. I believe the planning approval actually stipulated we weren’t even allowed to bring any cladding/prepare render onsite, until the planning office had formally signed off on the finish choice. Not a listed building, and not in a conservation area. the main bit of the house is 400ish years old, I was going to have the blockwork rendered, however I've been let down twice.

How about cedar shingles? I wouldn't use them on a roof as they'll eventually rot, but very good on walls.Oak would be best but is expensive- European oak does work out more cost effective- still looking around £90 psqm

Appreciate you've been let down twice, but in your shoes think I'd just find another firm to render it.the main bit of the house is 400ish years old, I was going to have the blockwork rendered, however I've been let down twice.

Have you got any photos? Hard to envisage how some suggestions of slate/timber would match to the existing without a visual reference.

Another option is European Cedar, about 1/3rd the cost of Canadian Western Red.
Used here as a rainscreen and will weather down to a ‘silver grey’, so no maintenance as such.
(that picture was taken around November, so with the dampness it looks a bit more ‘orange’ but if you want more recent photos then let me know)
