When do render cracks need repairing?

  • Cracks in the render or monocouche
  • Damp on the inside wall
  • Pieces of render coming loose
  • Cracks that keep growing

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.

What each crack tells us before we repair it

In areas such as Montcada Centre, La Ribera and Terra Nostra, 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.

Where cracks recur, on render in areas such as Can Sant Joan, Can Cuiàs and Mas Rampinyo we embed glass-fibre mesh in mortar, overlapping the strips and extending well beyond the crack on both sides. At window and door corners we add diagonal reinforcement.

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: Barcelona, Ripollet and Cerdanyola del Vallès.

Frequently asked questions

01

Exterior render crack repair in Montcada i Reixac: which areas do you cover?

We work in Montcada i Reixac in areas such as Montcada Centre, La Ribera, Terra Nostra, Montcada Nova-Pla d'en Coll, Can Sant Joan, Can Cuiàs, Mas Rampinyo and Mas Duran, and also nearby: Barcelona, Ripollet and Cerdanyola del Vallès.

02

Are 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.

03

Why 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.

04

Will 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.
