Before repair works begin, the extent and cause of the defect need to be understood. A localised defect may indicate a wider issue with the cladding system, fixings, support structure or underlying wall.
Where additional investigation is required, our dedicated survey team, Trident Facades Surveys, can undertake condition surveys and targeted opening-up to establish the condition of the existing system.
Depending on the façade system and condition, repairs can include:
Repairs are developed around the existing cladding system and the requirements of the wider remediation strategy.
Where the existing system can be retained, targeted repair can provide a practical alternative to full replacement.
The decision will depend on the extent and cause of defects, the condition of the wider system, required fire and weather performance, remaining service life and the availability of suitable replacement components.
Where the existing system cannot achieve the required performance through repair, cladding replacement may be required.
Cladding repairs can be delivered as a standalone service or as part of a wider façade remediation project.
Investigation → Strategy → Repair → Replacement → Completion
Where required, repairs can be combined with replacement of defective areas or other façade remedial works to provide a complete solution.
