Common causes include:
Potential warning signs include:
Some problems may only become apparent following closer inspection.
Investigation establishes the cladding type and construction, fixing method, support structure, condition of fixings and brackets, substrate, and extent of movement or deterioration.
Our dedicated survey team, Trident Facades Surveys, can undertake façade investigation and opening-up to identify the cause and extent of the defect.
Trident Facades can then develop the appropriate repair or remediation strategy, with temporary measures incorporated where required while permanent works are planned.
Depending on the findings, the solution may involve:
See our Cladding Repair Services and Cladding Replacement Services.
Loose cladding can result from defects within the cladding system or the supporting construction. Investigation may therefore identify wider issues with fixings, brackets, insulation, substrates or other façade components.
Where defects are extensive, remediation may involve:
Investigation → Assessment → Strategy → Design → Removal → Replacement
