What the crack repair includes
-
Assessing each crack
We tell shrinkage, thermal and structural cracks apart before starting work.
-
Raking out and cleaning
We open the crack into a V, remove loose material and clear the dust.
-
Flexible sealing
A flexible filler or mortar that moves with the wall without reopening.
-
Reinforcing mesh
Glass-fibre mesh embedded in mortar where cracks keep coming back.
-
Render reinstatement
Monocouche or render of the same type as the original, with a similar texture.
-
Final protection
Breathable paint or water repellent so water cannot get back in.
Render crack repair in Abrera: how we do it
In areas such as El Rebato and Can Torres, 1960s to 80s blocks with render painted many times sit beside older houses with lime render on stone. In each case we use a mortar compatible with the substrate, so the repair behaves like the rest of the wall.
To finish, on façades in areas such as Santa Maria de Vilalba, Can Vilalba and Ca n'Amat we reinstate the monocouche or render with the same type of material and a similar texture, scraped or smooth. We then apply breathable paint or water repellent and, if the patch shows, recommend painting the whole panel.
With over 20 years of experience we can tell a crack that just needs sealing from one that needs a different approach, and explain it in a written quote. Our work also covers areas close by: Martorell, Esparreguera and Olesa de Montserrat.

Frequently asked questions

We work in Abrera in areas such as El Rebato, Can Torres, Santa Maria de Vilalba, Can Vilalba, Ca n'Amat, Les Carpes and Sant Miquel, and also nearby: Martorell, Esparreguera and Olesa de Montserrat.
02Are all façade cracks serious?
No. Most come from shrinkage or thermal movement in the render and are repaired with sealing and mesh. If we see diagonal cracks, cracks running through the wall or cracks that keep growing, we recommend having a surveyor check the structure first.
03Why is filling the crack not enough?
If the crack is not opened up and sealed with a flexible material, movement in the wall makes it show again. That is why we rake it out, clean it and add mesh where cracks keep recurring.
04Will the repair be visible?
We match the texture of the render as closely as we can, but new colour almost always stands out. That is why we usually recommend repainting the whole section afterwards.
