Concrete & Brickwork Repairs

Any water ingress which penetrates the facade should be addressed as soon as possible.

Over time weathering can cause a breakdown to the integrity of a building’s façade. If water begins to penetrate the outer skin of a building it can cause corrosion to the internal reinforcement. This makes the reinforcement expand and contract which puts pressure on the concrete.

Early symptoms usually show as cracks which eventually progress to spalling and delamination.  Concrete cracks should be assessed and rectified immediately.

An inspection of the façade which documents its condition and provides a photographic record of any cracks and concrete spalling is recommended.  Our professional rope access technicians can provide a detailed report and address any minor maintenance items at the same time.

With our team of qualified, experienced, and professional technicians we can assist you with any concrete delamination or structural façade issues you have.

Causes of Water Ingress

The most common building defects that will allow water in and lead to water ingress are:

• Walls – cracked render or deteriorating mortar
• Windows – damaged flashing around window frames.
