When does a façade need making safe?

  • Pieces have fallen onto the pavement
  • Render that bulges or sounds hollow
  • Balcony edges with exposed steel
  • Defects flagged in an inspection report

What making the façade safe includes

  • Rope access inspection

    We survey the façade section by section and tap the render to find hollow areas.

  • Removing loose pieces

    We take down render, cornice fragments or tiles that could fall to the street.

  • Protecting the pavement

    We cordon off the area and fit netting where needed while we work.

  • Treating reinforcement

    We clean off rust and passivate the steel in balcony edges and slab fronts.

  • Rebuilding

    We restore the original shape with repair mortar, respecting mouldings and edges.

  • Matching finish

    Paint or render in the same shade so the repair blends in.

Making a façade safe in Ripollet, on ropes

In 1960s to 80s town-centre blocks in areas such as Centre and Quatre Cantons, ceramic tile slips and pieces of balcony-front cladding often come away. We tap every piece, remove the loose ones and reinstate the cladding with suitable adhesive and mortar.

For cornices and mouldings on façades in areas such as Can Tiana and Pont Vell, we take the profile before breaking out and reproduce it in layers of mortar, keeping arrises and projections. The element regains its original shape and once again throws rain clear of the wall.

A site manager coordinates the rope access team with the residents and, when we finish, we clear the rubble and leave the pavement clean. We work in the surrounding areas too: Cerdanyola del Vallès, Montcada i Reixac and Barberà del Vallès.

Frequently asked questions

01

Making safe loose façade elements in Ripollet: which areas do you cover?

We do this work in Ripollet, in areas such as Centre, Quatre Cantons, Can Tiana, Pont Vell, Can Mas, Maragall and Pinetons, and also nearby: Cerdanyola del Vallès, Montcada i Reixac and Barberà del Vallès. Before starting we visit the property and prepare a detailed written quote.

02

A piece of the façade has already fallen. What should we do first?

Cordon off the area below and contact us. Our first step is to remove the remaining loose pieces to eliminate the risk; the permanent repair is then set out in the quote.

03

Is scaffolding needed?

On most façades, no. We use rope access, working on twin ropes from the roof, so the pavement is not taken up by structures and windows are not covered.

04

Can you carry out the repairs listed in an inspection report?

Yes. With the building inspection report in hand, we check each point on the façade and quote for each repair item separately.
