    That's not a problem as you don't write books or are a news reader or a lecturer. :)

                Not in keeping with a 200 year old cottage.

                    Yes they did Pete. You can have any cladding you want as long as it can't be seen on the public highway.

                      Is that actually cladding ?
                      Looks more like roofing sheets.

                          They can be used on walls and roofs.
                          I spoke to the man installing them, he said it's the first time he's done this type of work on a private house. He does a lot of work for farmers. Sheds, stables & factories etc.

                            You will have to get Banksy round.:biggrin:
                            Not nice but you will probably get used to it up to a point, it would have been better if they had just painted the wall.
                            Or just a few bricks rather than the blocks.

                              If that's a type of plastic cladding then it will probably sweat in the heat and create mould on the brick work penetrating through the wall. Give it time @john558. :biggrin:

                                I'm assuming its a cavity wall?
                                But there is a gap between the wall and the cladding, I assume they will cap it off at the top? and somehow allow ventilation into the gap behind?
