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 Vicenç dels Horts: why they appear
In inland areas such as Centre, Can Ros and Sant Josep 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.
To finish, on façades in areas such as La Guàrdia, Can Costa and El Turó we reinstate the monocouche or render with the same type of material and a similar texture, scraped or smooth. We then apply breathable paint or water repellent and, if the patch shows, recommend painting the whole panel.
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: Molins de Rei, Sant Feliu de Llobregat and Santa Coloma de Cervelló.

Frequently asked questions
01Exterior render crack repair in Sant Vicenç dels Horts: which areas do you cover?
We work in Sant Vicenç dels Horts in areas such as Centre, Can Ros, Sant Josep, Poblenou, La Guàrdia, Can Costa, El Turó and La Vinyala, and also nearby: Molins de Rei, Sant Feliu de Llobregat and Santa Coloma de Cervelló.
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.
