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.

Façade cracks in Sant Andreu de la Barca: why they appear

In inland areas such as Nucli Antic and El Centre 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.

In areas such as La Plana, Pla de l'Estació and La Solana we cut the crack open in a V, remove loose material and dust, prime the edges and fill with polyurethane sealant or flexible mortar. That way the seal moves with the wall instead of breaking.

We protect pavements, windows and gardens, take down scaffolding or ropes at the end and leave the area clean. We repair façades nearby too: Martorell, Castellbisbal and Corbera de Llobregat.

Frequently asked questions

Exterior render crack repair in Sant Andreu de la Barca: which areas do you cover?

We do this work in Sant Andreu de la Barca, in areas such as Nucli Antic, El Centre, La Plana, Pla de l'Estació, La Solana, El Palau and La Colònia, and also nearby: Martorell, Castellbisbal and Corbera de Llobregat. Before starting we visit the property and prepare a detailed written quote.

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.
