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.
Façade cracks in Olot: why they appear
In inland areas such as Vila Vella and Eixample Malagrida 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.
Where cracks recur, on render in areas such as Sant Miquel, Bonavista and Pla de Dalt 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.
On the visit we check every crack and give you a detailed written quote with the repair system; a site manager coordinates access and the team. We also repair cracks in nearby areas: Sant Joan les Fonts, Santa Pau and La Vall d'en Bas.

Frequently asked questions
01Exterior render crack repair in Olot: which areas do you cover?
We do this work in Olot, in areas such as Vila Vella, Eixample Malagrida, Sant Miquel, Bonavista, Pla de Dalt, Sant Roc, Sant Cristòfol les Fonts and Batet de la Serra, and also nearby: Sant Joan les Fonts, Santa Pau and La Vall d'en Bas. Before starting we visit the property and prepare a detailed written quote.
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.
