General Information
In most cases, adding Cladding to your home does not require planning permission, providing that the materials are off a similar appearance to the rest of your home. In some cases, you may need to apply for planning permission if your home is a listed building in an area of exceptional beauty or a national park. Please note that we are not licensed planning or building surveyors. We recommend speaking to a licenced professional.

Planning permission may be required for some Decking installations, however, some may not need planning permission. It all depends on where you live, how big your Deck is and how high will it be. See all the restrictions and what permissions you may need for your Decking installation here
Cladco Composite and PVC Decking could require planning permission. Unless Decking is being added to a listed building or a property based within a conservation area, Decking should only require planning permission if the height of the Deck exceeds 30cm, or if the Deck, along with other extensions takes up more than 50% of the Garden.

Yes, Decking can be used as a great design tool to help flatten out your garden space. If you are installing a Deck on a sloped garden, be sure to measure and install the Structural Joists correctly, the base and Joists may need to be cut to different lengths to ensure the Deck is level. See our Composite Decking installation guide here.
A composite board, such as Cladco Decking, Cladding or Fencing are made from an amalgamation of wood and plastic. 60% wood fibres and 40% plastic with a bonded agent and other additives. Composite boards come with a range of benefits over traditional timber boards.

To benefit from low-slip properties found with Cladco Composite Decking, please ensure your decking is installed with the narrow grooves facing up. These are what help the deck become low-slip. For the Woodgrain Decking, these boards are not considered low-slip.
A Balustrade is a railing, or support system forming a divide between one area and another. This divide can be for safety or aesthetic reasons. Balustrades can often be installed at the edge of a raised area such as a veranda or balcony and can be used as a prevention for accidents. Balustrades are available in a range of widths and have a matching post and gate systems available.
The word, Balustrade has 17th-century Italian origins, when the word ‘balusters’ referred to the columns used in traditional Italian architecture. Today Balustrade means a row of balusters (posts) topped by a rail or a low parapet or barrier, designed for safety around areas such as raised decking, patios or balconies.
A staircase balustrade, is a balustrade which runs down the side of a staircase. Many architects and interior designers often refer to it as a ‘bannister’. Balustrades are usually used on the exterior of a composite decking project and can be a great way to secure off an area or set a divide between to aspects of an outdoor space. To install a stair case balustrade system, please call our helpful sales team on 01837 659901 who can advise you on the best solution.
The required spacing between Ballustrade Posts depends on the length of the area to be covered, Balustrade Handrail Systems are available in various lengths and the posts must be installed between. See all available Balustrade Handrail Systems here.
Planning permission is a tricky topic to understand, essentially if your project, which requires a Balustrade, is defined as ‘out of character’ or ‘detrimental to the local environment’ or if you are planning on building in a conservation area, then planning permission may need to be acquired. Check with your local planning department, building surveyor or local authority before beginning work if you’re in doubt.
