Mock Tudor
Anonymous user 01/09/2026 - 8.38 AM
Hi, looking to replace mock Tudor fascia to front of property within the next couple of months and need to know the best and cost effective way of how to do this. Existing design has curves which would need to be replicated and rendering also needs replacing Can boards be used in place of existing render? Any advice would be greatly appreciated
Are you a tradesperson and able to answer this question?

All depends what material you would like them to be Due to the curves if you was hoping to swap timber for pvc or composite they would need to be custom made which would be very expensive ,it’s hard to say your best option without seeing it but my best guess would be replacing timber for timber to keep the cost down but it will require significantly more upkeep . Hope this helps

I would always recommend PVC/composite cladding or something similar when replacing mock Tudor detailing. It should give you decades of service with very little maintenance compared with timber, which will need ongoing painting and treatment.
Once the existing render has been removed and replaced, the main difficulty will be forming the curved sections.
I’ve seen composite boards that can be shaped to follow a radius, which could potentially work really well for this. Have a look at Composite Prime, particularly their Elements range. They manufacture both decking and cladding products, and the Elements boards are specifically designed so they can be curved and shaped.
It could give you the traditional mock Tudor appearance without the long-term maintenance issues you get with timber.
Definitely worth having a look at before deciding which way to go.
