I've never done any of this sort of work before ( Cladding ) and
wondered what fixings you use ..... presumably ss nails but how do
you conceal these ?

SS nails with PVC heads, the same colour as your cladding. IMO
they look quite pleasing. Wherever you buy your cladding should
sell the nails, otherwise Screwfix do them.


What mastic if any do I use ?

Silicone at the joins.


There doesn't seem to be a help/fact sheet available for this work in
my local branch.

Just feel your way through it. Once you have the materials, it
gets pretty obvious.
