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 Sitges, on ropes

In apartment blocks in areas such as Centre, Poble Sec and Els Ametllers, many flats are closed out of season, so damage to balconies and slab edges is spotted late. We agree roof access with the residents' association and, in most cases, work without entering the flats.

On balconies in areas such as Sant Sebastià, Aiguadolç and Terramar, we break out damaged concrete to expose the steel, wire-brush it, apply a passivating coat and add new bars where it has lost section. Then we rebuild the edge with repair mortar and a drip.

We inspect the façade, mark the risk areas and give you a detailed written quote to present to the residents' association. We also carry out façade repairs in nearby areas: Sant Pere de Ribes, Castelldefels and Gavà.

Frequently asked questions

01

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

We do this work in Sitges, in areas such as Centre, Poble Sec, Els Ametllers, Can Pei, Sant Sebastià, Aiguadolç, Terramar and Levantina, and also nearby: Sant Pere de Ribes, Castelldefels and Gavà. 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.
