What this work involves
Review masonry, joints, junctions and moisture together. Cleaning or a new coating does not automatically solve underlying defects. Assess the cause and test treatment where appropriate.
- Masonry and joint survey
- Damaged material repair
- Appropriate cleaning and finish
- Window and roof connections
- Access and protection
Use the following design considerations when coordinating this service with a wider project. Agree which parts apply to your request.
Carry facade and roof decisions through to adjoining interior details.
What the drawing needs to explain
Use the same room and detail numbers on drawings and in the room book. Identify the approved revision for each item and which supplier still needs to provide information.
Allow for later maintenance
Organise product and care information by the same room structure. Documentation then remains useful when only one element is replaced later.
Which trade-off matters?
A continuous material palette brings calm, but rooms serve different uses. Decide which qualities should remain consistent and where moisture, sound or intensive use calls for a different solution.
Cost factors for this service
Area, damage, method and scaffolding affect the price. A test area may help establish the approach.
Bring this to the discussion
Overall and detail photographs, damage and known moisture issues.
Questions about the work
Is cleaning always appropriate?
No. Material, age and condition determine suitable methods. Excessively aggressive cleaning can damage a facade.
