Dapcor provides cladding replacement across Sydney's Inner West, taking non-compliant and deteriorating facades off buildings in Ashfield, Marrickville, Newtown, Leichhardt, Balmain and the suburbs between. The area's building stock is unusually varied: heritage terraces and warehouse conversions sit beside apartment blocks from the 1990s and 2000s, the era when combustible panels were most widely installed. Established in 1974, Dapcor pairs a 4.5-Star iCIRT rating with ISO-certified quality and safety systems, and our live-site methodology means residents stay in place while old cladding comes down and a compliant system goes up.
Combustible cladding in the Inner West is rarely a whole-facade problem. More often, aluminium composite panels appear on entries, balconies and feature walls of otherwise conventional buildings, which makes accurate identification the critical first step. We are regularly engaged after a fire safety order or an insurer's query, and testing frequently confirms panels with a polyethylene core. Warehouse conversions bring their own complications, because panels were often fixed over older masonry or steel substrates that need remediation once exposed. We also find long-running moisture damage hidden behind cladding, from failed flashings and membranes, that only becomes visible during removal. Buildings listed on the NSW Government's cladding register face the added pressure of documented timeframes, so a clear rectification pathway matters as much as the works themselves.
Our completed cladding replacement at Ashfield sits in the heart of the Inner West and reflects how Dapcor approaches every recladding project: panel identification and testing, an engineered replacement specification, then staged removal and installation under ISO-certified WHS controls with the building occupied throughout. Delivery runs through our internal PMO, so owners corporations receive a documented program, progress reporting and a single point of contact. The same team carries broader cladding replacement scopes across Sydney, from single elevations through to full facade renewal.
The register is maintained by the NSW Government, and strata managers or owners can confirm a building's status through NSW Fair Trading. If your building is listed, or you suspect its panels are combustible, our guide on combustible cladding in NSW explains obligations, testing and the rectification process.
Yes. These projects need a replacement system sympathetic to the building's character and a methodology that protects original fabric during removal. Dapcor engineers each specification to the substrate behind the panels, whether modern framing, steel or century-old masonry, and coordinates any consent requirements before works begin.
