How to Use Our Composite Cladding Cost Calculator
1. Enter Your Measurements
Enter the total square metres of your walls and gables (triangular parts of walls that support roof valleys). You measure this by multiplying the area’s length and width.
For gables, measure the base width from eave to eave. Then, measure the vertical height from the middle of your baseline to the peak of the gable. Apply this simple formula (Base x Height ÷ 2) for accurate measurements.
Spot-on measurements are important because your material, and consequently, cost estimates, depend on them. Add between 5% and 10% to your total spend to ensure that you cover accidental mis-measurements and waste.
2. Select the Cladding Range You’d Like to Use
Next, enter your choice of cladding – flush or slatted.
Flush cladding has a smooth, sanded finish with edges that hide screws, creating a sleek appearance. Slatted cladding has individual battens with gaps, creating a textured, trendy look with light and shadow lines.
The benefits of cladding are many and varied:
- It’s durable with a long lifespan and resists harsh weather conditions, decay and insect damage.
- It’s low maintenance, which means that it can be cleaned easily, needs little to no repairs, and doesn’t require painting, staining or sealing.
- It’s an aesthetic plus that upgrades the look of any building.
- Made with sustainable materials, it’s environmentally friendly.
- It’s insulating, which means that it maintains temperatures to save energy costs.
3. Select Any Additional Features for Your Composite Cladding
The external cladding cost calculator also provides for the extras. Accessories for composite cladding include hidden fasteners for seamless cladding, specialised cleaners for mould and stains, joists for ground-level support, and edging trims in different finishes.
4. Review Your Materials List and Estimated Cost
Once calculated, our cladding cost calculator for the UK will give you an accurate estimate of the number of cladding boards, material and accessories needed for your total area. It also reflects the costs, which makes planning and budgeting a lot easier.
Review these results to ensure that everything’s on par with your budget and requirements.
5. Download or Share Your Estimate
It’s important to keep your estimate on record. Download or share it so that you can access it without hassle when contacting our consultants or for other communications.

Composite Cladding Calculator FAQs
How accurate is the composite cladding calculator?
How many lengths of composite cladding do I need?
The required number of lengths of composite cladding depends on the area you want to cover. That’s why, before buying a single board or batten, it’s crucial to determine the size of the area you want to clad.
Our composite cost calculator is specifically developed for the UK market, which means that you can use it without conversions between the metric and imperial systems. It calculates how many cladding lengths you need for your total square metres without the need to jump through any maths hoops.
Remember to add between 5% and 10% to create a buffer for incorrect measurements and material wastage.
What size is your composite cladding?
What is the difference between flush and slatted composite cladding?
Flush cladding is smooth, while slatted cladding has a type of corrugated design with a sharp, angled profile instead of the customary wavy-S shapes.
Each type is low maintenance, highly durable, weather resistant, eco-friendly and can be installed vertically or horizontally. With flush cladding, there are no visible screws or fixings.
Made for the outdoors, both give exteriors a multi-benefit facelift.
The thermal efficiency and fire safety of composite cladding make it suitable for any exterior. It’s ideal for residences, garden rooms, partially covered outdoor kitchens or sheds, commercial buildings and even industrial facilities.
