Balcony Remediation

Trident Facades provides balcony remediation services for residential and commercial buildings where balconies require repair, refurbishment, waterproofing or replacement.

Balconies can involve several interconnected components, including structure, waterproofing, finishes, balustrades, drainage and interfaces with the building façade.

When Is Balcony Remediation Required?

Balcony remediation may be required where there are:

  • Concrete deterioration
  • Cracking
  • Spalling
  • Corrosion
  • Water ingress
  • Failed waterproofing
  • Damaged finishes
  • Defective drainage
  • Deteriorated balustrades
  • Defective façade interfaces
  • Thermal bridging
  • Fire safety concerns
  • Structural defects

The appropriate solution depends on the construction and condition of the balcony.

Balcony Investigation

Before remediation works are designed, the existing balcony construction and defects may need to be established.

Investigation can consider:

  • Balcony structure
  • Slab condition
  • Reinforcement
  • Waterproofing
  • Drainage
  • Edge details
  • Balustrade fixings
  • Façade interfaces
  • Finishes

Where intrusive investigation is required, this can be coordinated with our dedicated survey team.

Balcony Remediation Services

Depending on the findings, works may include:

  • Concrete repairs
  • Reinforcement repairs
  • Corrosion treatment
  • Waterproofing
  • Drainage repairs
  • Edge repairs
  • Balustrade repairs
  • Balustrade replacement
  • Surface finishes
  • Façade interface repairs
  • Fire-stopping works
  • Complete balcony refurbishment

Balcony Waterproofing

Failed waterproofing can allow water to penetrate the balcony structure and surrounding façade.

Remediation may therefore involve removing defective finishes, repairing the substrate and installing a new waterproofing system.

See our Façade Waterproofing Services.

Balcony and Façade Remediation

Balconies frequently intersect with the external wall.

The remediation design may therefore need to coordinate balcony works with:

  • Cladding
  • Insulation
  • External wall systems
  • Waterproofing
  • Windows
  • Fire stopping
  • Curtain walling

Balcony Replacement

Where existing balconies cannot be economically or technically repaired, replacement may be considered as part of the wider remediation strategy.

The solution should account for the building structure, façade interfaces, drainage and waterproofing.
