Cladmate Facade Systems

What Cladmate Facade Systems does

Cladmate Facade Systems LTD is a UK-based manufacturer and supplier of facade support and full through-wall cladding systems, headquartered in London (1 Bedlam Mews, SE11 6DF) with a warehouse and trade counter in Dagenham. The company designs, manufactures and distributes engineered components and integrated cladding carrier systems used by architects, contractors, property developers, civil/structural engineers and dealers on new build and retrofit projects across residential and non-residential buildings in the UK. Its commercial proposition is positioned around post-Grenfell fire safety, with products certified to A1/A2 fire ratings and supported by BBA, CWCT, and CE credentials.

The core product range centres on the Fortis helping-hand bracket system (A1 fire rated, 6063 T6 aluminium, available in single/double configurations from 40–300mm), extruded aluminium profiles and rails, the Ecopad A2-rated thermal break pad, Ejot-sourced fixings, Terrawool A1 stone wool insulation, and Sika sealants and adhesives. These components are assembled into 15 named cladding support systems (CMS01 through CMS50R) covering face-fix, multi-clip, sliding-clip, secret-fix, concealed-fix/structural-bonding, glass, hook-on cassette, single/double skin terracotta, bonding and mechanically fixed brick slip, insulated bonded/structurally bonded brick slip, and insulated render configurations — supporting panel materials including brick slip, ceramic, composite, fibre cement, glass, HPL, metal, natural stone, terracotta and render. Systems are largely A1 rated and certified for buildings over 18 metres.

Cladmate operates a sales-led, trade-account go-to-market model in which approved trade customers transact through a dedicated portal (trade.cladmate.co.uk) with 30-day payment terms, supplemented by a physical warehouse trade counter offering same-day collection and a network of named distributors (FabSpeed, LBT Brick). Revenue is generated from one-time hardware sales of components and integrated cladding systems, with ancillary revenue from installation training programmes for rainscreen cladding and EWI systems. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; quotations lapse after 30 days and vary by quantity. The company claims a customer base of 1,000+ clients and operates with approximately 12 employees, with no disclosed external funding or institutional ownership.
