Cladding Project Photographer | Building Envelope Specialist UK
Professional Building Envelope Photography: Supporting Contractors Nationwide
When you’re managing major building envelope projects across the UK, you need a photography partner who understands both technical requirements and project logistics. Our partnership with Certa Roofing and Cladding demonstrates how professional photography supports nationwide construction excellence.

If you’re delivering major cladding and facade projects across the UK, you understand the importance of professional documentation. Through our partnership with leading building envelope specialists, we’ve documented projects valued at over £27.9M supporting business growth across multiple sectors.

Supporting Your Building Envelope Excellence
When you need to document complex installations across multiple sites, you require a photography partner who understands both technical requirements and project logistics. Our systematic approach ensures consistent, professional documentation that strengthens your market position and supports business development.

Professional Partnership: Our Working Process
Your projects demand careful planning and technical expertise. From initial consultation through to final delivery, our process ensures smooth integration with your teams while maintaining the highest professional standards.
Initial project planning begins with detailed discussion of your requirements, site locations and project timelines. Whether you’re managing multiple sites or complex city centre installations, we develop comprehensive schedules that optimise site visits while ensuring thorough documentation.
Technical preparation includes specialist equipment selection for restricted spaces and challenging architectural features. Using tilt-shift lenses and professional-grade systems, we capture your installations while maintaining technical accuracy – crucial for demonstrating quality standards and architectural impact.
CSCS certification and comprehensive RAMS documentation ensure seamless integration with your site teams. Understanding construction processes and safety requirements means efficient documentation without disrupting site activities.

Your city centre projects present unique documentation challenges. At Birmingham’s Cornwall House (£2.3M), we captured the installation of stepped brickslip columns, terracotta pilasters and feature bands, demonstrating your expertise in challenging urban environments.
(£2M), our photography showcased complex GRC installation, including rooftop features and challenging soffit installations. The technical demands of installing heavy panels using mast climbers and powered winches required photography that proved both installation quality and safety management.
At Lionel House Birmingham (£2M), where individual corner panels exceeded one tonne, our documentation captured complex installation methodologies while highlighting finished architectural impact.

Urban Regeneration Projects: Yorkshire and Sheffield
Major regeneration schemes demand comprehensive documentation. At Sheffield’s Heart of the City development (£7.2M), we captured the integration of multiple systems including standing seam roofing, Corten rainscreen, and bespoke anodised aluminium features. Our photography demonstrated how diverse cladding systems combine to create striking architectural results.
The Glassworks Barnsley (£8.1M) showcases our ability to document large-scale mixed-use developments. Despite Covid restrictions, our photography captured the full scope of building envelope installation, from standing seam acoustic roofing to perforated car park facades.
High-Rise Development: Capital Quarter Cardiff
Complex high-rise projects require careful documentation. At Cardiff’s Capital Quarter (£4.3M), we captured GRC panel installation and anodised copper features across 26 storeys. Our photography demonstrated both technical challenges of high-level installation and architectural impact of various cladding systems.
Education and Community Facilities
At Ponteland Schools and Leisure Centre (£2M), our photography highlighted the integration of vertically laid standing seam systems with horizontal sinusoidal cladding. The project demonstrates how professional photography captures both technical detail and architectural impact in community facilities.

EXCELLENT Based on 8 reviews SPIT UKI & Nordics25. July, 2022.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Was a pleasure working with James and Ed on two recent photography shoots for an upcoming tool launch under the ITW Construction brands. They were both professional, quick and stuck to the brief perfectly, often reminding and suggesting alternative shots too that were indeed stronger or more suited to our photography styling. Would happily recommend them and use them again when the opportunity arises for us. They went above and beyond with post production too which was really appreciated by the marketing team. Thank you both! Emilia Williamson20. July, 2022.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. It was great to work with the team at UK Construction Photography. They did an incredible job of capturing the images that we were wanting. After contacting James and discussing our vision, he was nothing but accommodating and went the extra mile to ensure he could do everything he could to get what we wanted. On the day of the shoot, the whole session was carried out very professionally and to an excellent standard. You can tell they love what they do, and it reflects in the final product. Could not recommend enough. Rebecca Simpson5. November, 2021.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. James is great to work with, we appreciated his flexibility, attention to detail and enthusiasm. We hope to work together again and we are happy to recommend James to anyone looking for professional construction photography. Paul Kelly5. November, 2021.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great team of photographers, providing top quality images of construction works on some of the UK's largest infrastructure projects. Emma Wilson2. March, 2021.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. James at UK Construction Photography provided a great service and delivered exactly what was required for our new website and case studies. Would highly recommend. Stephen Davis1. March, 2021.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. James provides a very professional service to his clients, his detail he puts into the back ground is next to none. I would recommend him to anyone needing photos for websites, magazines or just general photos. Steve James Rowe15. November, 2019.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. James at UK Construction photography was incredibly easy to deal with. James accommodated everything we asked for and once we gave him a brief idea of what sort of photos we were after we put him in contact with our web designers and he got the job done without any issues. After speaking to another photographer they didn't seem too keen to undertake the work required as they were put off by the distances involved. We got in contact with James who was more than happy to help us out and fitted our work in at the earliest opportunity. UK construction photography are perfect for construction companies who require professional photos and, in our case, companies who often find themselves stretched between different sites and locations throughout the UK. We were very satisfied with James' work, as were our web designers. Martin Campbell11. November, 2019.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Brilliant photographer On time every time no fuss no issues no excuses Promised the world but delivered the universe James is our go to guy for all our work Can’t recommend enough Money well spent. We gained more work from his photographs than 5 yrs of adverting
