If you’ve ever lived through a Lincolnshire winter, you know what relentless British weather can do to your home’s exterior. For Mr. and Mrs. Holland in Lincoln, their cladding had seen better days—worn, faded, and doing nothing for their home’s curb appeal. It wasn’t just about looks either. Cracked, tired cladding and outdated guttering can lead to deeper issues like moisture penetration and inefficient rainwater drainage.
From Dull to Dynamic: Tackling the Home Exterior Challenge
Over time, wind, rain, and harsh UV exposure had taken their toll on the Hollands’ exterior cladding. The original panels, once protective and stylish, had begun to show their age. Cracking, discoloration, and moss buildup made their beautiful property look tired. They knew it was time for a change—not a quick fix, but a long-term solution that would restore the home’s aesthetic and integrity.
And while functionality was front of mind, style mattered too. “We wanted something that would last, but also look GOOD,” said Mr. Holland with a laugh. The couple loved their classic Lincoln home and wanted to invest in a facelift that felt both modern and timeless—something that would elevate their exterior while blending seamlessly with their existing windows and brickwork.
Why the Hollands Chose Roofriendly
With options aplenty, the Hollands were after more than just any installer—they wanted a team known for quality, customer care, and solid craftsmanship. That’s why they called us at Roofriendly. Not only are we Lincolnshire locals who understand what local homes endure, but we offer a comprehensive range of high-quality cladding and guttering solutions designed to withstand tough UK weather. It wasn’t just a job—it was about getting it right, and getting it right the first time.
They specifically chose our deep brown woodgrain box cladding for its low-maintenance appeal and rich, sophisticated look. Paired with matching modern guttering, it offered a one-two punch of polished aesthetics and improved rainwater performance. We took extra care to match the new finish with their existing brick, windows, and door frames, delivering a streamlined, cohesive façade.
A Closer Look at the Installation
Once the design was finalised, our Roofriendly installation team got to work. First, we carefully removed the old cladding and thoroughly inspected the underlying structure to ensure everything was dry, level, and ready for new materials.
Next came the installation of the new woodgrain effect box cladding. This isn’t your run-of-the-mill cladding—it’s engineered for exceptional durability, resisting warping, cracking, and colour fading even after years of Lincolnshire’s changing weather.
We then upgraded the guttering system to improve rainwater flow and prevent potential drainage issues along the foundation. Using modern, maintenance-friendly materials, we created a streamlined profile that not only works better but looks smarter.
The Results: An Exterior to Be Proud Of
The result? A total transformation. The deep brown woodgrain finish gives their home a warm, contemporary feel, contrasting beautifully with the red brickwork and framing their windows perfectly. The new guttering blends in effortlessly, proving you don’t have to choose between form and function.
Best of all, this upgrade means:
- A low-maintenance exterior with no more repainting or annual touch-ups
- Improved rainwater management and protection for the home’s foundation
- Increased kerb appeal—this home now stands out for all the right reasons
Mr. and Mrs. Holland couldn’t be happier with the transformation. Their home not only looks better—it’s better protected against the elements and easier to maintain going forward.
