Façade defects can affect the appearance, weather resistance, durability, fire performance and structural integrity of a building. Some defects are immediately visible, while others can be concealed within the external wall construction.
Understanding the cause and extent of a defect is important before deciding whether localised repair, component replacement or wider façade remediation is required.
Problems affecting existing façades can include:
The visible defect does not always reveal the underlying problem. Investigation may be required to establish the construction, condition and extent of defects within the façade.
Depending on the building and circumstances, this may include condition surveys, external wall investigation, intrusive opening-up, cladding investigation, material identification and examination of concealed cavities and interfaces.
Our dedicated survey team, Trident Facades Surveys, can undertake façade investigation and opening-up where required.
Once the cause and extent of a defect have been established, the appropriate remediation strategy can be developed.
The solution may range from localised repair or component replacement to partial or complete façade replacement.
