Moonshine Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 Anyone got a ball park labour only figure for fitting 150mm cladding, linear m or m2? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorfun Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 I paid about £6.5k labour iirc. We bought 4130lm of a mix of charred larch and standard Siberian larch so that’s about £1.57/lm I think! hope that helps. Although I think our chippie has put his daily rate up a bit since he finished our job so might’ve cost us a bit more if we were doing it now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorfun Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 Ps. We used a 120mm profile for the Siberian larch. The charred was 150mm though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, that does look a cheap rate and can understand why his rates went up. My thoughts were about £3 per l/m, which is £24 per m2 on 150mm larch (125mm coverage) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moonshine Posted November 10, 2022 Author Share Posted November 10, 2022 I ended up taking a day off doing some of the cladding. In about 6.5 hours I did about 68 linear metres and a window trim. Working solidily, treating cut ends and laser leveling every couple of lifts, so not rushing it too much. On my own experience £3 may be a tad rich 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did a solid side of the building the other day, straight runs without any windows / doors, managed 80 linear metres in 3 hours, treating cut ends and laser levelling every couple of lifts. At £25 / h that's less than £1 a metre 😁 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
