Non-Cladding Remediation Services

Not every façade defect is caused by the cladding.

Trident Facades provides non-cladding remediation services for buildings where defects or safety concerns involve other components of the external wall or building envelope.

This can include insulation, cavity barriers, fire stopping, windows, balconies, waterproofing, render and façade interfaces.

What Is Non-Cladding Remediation?

Non-cladding remediation addresses defects within the external wall or façade that are separate from the visible cladding system.

Examples include:

Defective insulation
Missing cavity barriers
Fire-stopping defects
Failed membranes
Water ingress
Window defects
Balcony defects
Render failure
Deteriorated substrates
Defective interfaces
Corrosion
Structural façade defects

Why Non-Cladding Defects Matter

Removing or replacing cladding does not necessarily resolve problems within the rest of the external wall.

For example, a façade may have:

New cladding + defective insulation

or:

Replacement panels + inadequate cavity barriers

or:

Sound cladding + failed waterproofing

A successful remediation project therefore needs to address the complete wall construction where required.

Investigating the External Wall

Our dedicated survey team can undertake façade investigations and opening-up to establish the construction and condition of concealed components.

This can include investigation of:

Insulation
Cavities
Cavity barriers
Fire stopping
Membranes
Fixings
Substrate
Interfaces
Windows
Other façade components

Non-Cladding Remediation Works

Depending on the findings, remediation can include:

Insulation replacement
Cavity barrier remediation
Fire-stopping remediation
Window remediation
Balcony remediation
Waterproofing
Render repairs
Substrate repairs
Façade interface repairs
Structural façade repairs

Non-Cladding Remediation and External Wall Assessment

Where an external wall assessment has identified defects beyond the cladding itself, those findings may need to be incorporated into the remediation strategy and design.

The remediation solution should respond to the actual external wall construction and identified defects.

Coordinated Façade Remediation

Trident Facades can coordinate non-cladding works alongside:

Cladding remediation
Cladding replacement
Curtain wall remediation
External wall replacement
Façade waterproofing
Fire-stopping remediation

This allows different façade components to be addressed as one coordinated remediation project.

From Investigation to Remediation

A typical project may progress through:

Investigation → Assessment → Strategy → Design → Remedial Works → Completion
