Professional Builder highlights a giveaway for Cladbros cladding installation tools designed for fast, accurate fibre cement lap board fitting.
Professional Builder is featuring a competition offering tradespeople the opportunity to win two complete sets of Cladbros cladding installation tools. The specialist fitting aid is engineered specifically to streamline the installation of fibre cement lap boards across commercial and residential sites.
Installing fibre cement cladding solo often presents handling challenges, particularly when attempting to maintain consistent overlaps and precise leveling across wide elevations. The Cladbros system acts as an extra pair of hands by clamping securely onto existing courses. It supports subsequent boards at a set gauge and height, keeping the material stable while the installer mechanically fixes it into place.
By holding timber or fibre cement cladding in position automatically, the tool eliminates the need for temporary timber batten supports or a second worker on the scaffold. This speeds up overall installation times while ensuring consistent horizontal lines and accurate lap measurements across the entire facade.
What does this mean for a UK tradesperson or DIYer actually buying this kit — does it change what they should pay, buy, or watch out for?
For solo carpenters, joiners, and general builders, specialist accessories like the Cladbros system change the labor economics of fitting composite siding. Instead of pricing a job based on a two-person team, a single operative can reliably handle heavy fibre cement planks without risking dropped boards or inconsistent board gaps. While entering the giveaway offers a chance to secure the kit for free, tradespeople regularly undertaking cladding work should consider adding dedicated board clamps to their inventory alongside standard spirit levels and nail guns to boost daily output and reduce site labor costs.
