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 Martorell: how we do it
In inland areas such as La Vila, La Mina and Rosanes winter frosts freeze the water that gets into a crack and open it a little further each year. So we seal with a flexible material and finish with a breathable water repellent that keeps water out while leaving the pores open.
Before touching anything, on façades in areas such as El Pla, Camí Fondo and Buenos Aires we measure the width and direction of each crack and check whether it is still active. Diagonal cracks, cracks through the wall or cracks that keep growing go to an engineer before repair.
We protect pavements, windows and gardens, take down scaffolding or ropes at the end and leave the area clean. We repair façades nearby too: Sant Andreu de la Barca, Abrera and Castellbisbal.

Frequently asked questions
01Exterior render crack repair in Martorell: which areas do you cover?
We work in Martorell in areas such as La Vila, La Mina, Rosanes, Pont del Diable, El Pla, Camí Fondo, Buenos Aires and Torrent de Llops, and also nearby: Sant Andreu de la Barca, Abrera and Castellbisbal.
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.
