What Are Roofing and Cladding Jobs?

Roofing and cladding jobs involve installing, repairing, replacing and maintaining the external coverings of buildings.

Roofing focuses primarily on protecting the upper structure of a building from rain, wind and other environmental conditions.

Cladding involves installing external materials that form part of a building's wall or roof envelope.

These systems may contribute to weather resistance, thermal performance, appearance and other aspects of building performance.

Some contractors specialise exclusively in roofing or cladding, while others undertake both disciplines as part of larger construction projects.
