Cladding repairs may be required because of:
The appropriate repair depends on the material, construction and extent of the defect.
Repair should not be assumed to be appropriate simply because a defect appears localised.
Where necessary, the condition of the surrounding system should be investigated to establish whether the defect is isolated or symptomatic of a wider problem.
Our survey team can undertake façade condition surveys and targeted investigations where additional evidence is required.
Depending on the system and findings, repair works may include:
The decision between repair and replacement should consider:
Where the existing system cannot provide the required performance, replacement may be more appropriate.
Cladding repair can form part of a wider façade remediation programme.
For example, a project may involve:
Survey → Investigation → Strategy → Localised Repair → Replacement of Defective Areas → Completion
The final scope should reflect the evidence established during the assessment and design stages.
