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 Vic, on ropes

In 1960s to 80s town-centre blocks in areas such as Centre Històric and Les Adoberies, 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.

On buildings in areas such as El Remei, Montseny and La Guixa, we inspect the façade inch by inch from the ropes, tapping the render and the edges. Each risk point is marked and photographed, and the first job is always to remove anything that could fall on the street.

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: Gurb, Calldetenes and Santa Eugènia de Berga.

Frequently asked questions

01

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

We work in Vic in areas such as Centre Històric, Les Adoberies, El Remei, Montseny, La Guixa, Caputxins, Santa Clara and Horta Vermella, and also nearby: Gurb, Calldetenes and Santa Eugènia de Berga.

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.
