Repair of render and coatings

Removing what doesn't adhere and keeping what can be saved. When render has hollow areas or is separating from the masonry, painting over it just adds a layer without solving the adhesion problem. Selective removal helps identify the surfaces that can be kept.

What problems we deal with in this job

Hollow sounds, bulging, cracks and detached edges guide the initial scope.

An accurate quote describes which areas will be inspected and which could hide damage that is not yet visible. At Build Ararat we don't promise a permanent repair without knowing the cause and the condition of the materials.

What we check before proposing the work

We check the make-up of the substrate, the presence of salts, active water ingress and compatibility with the new mortar.

For a first enquiry we recommend sending photos from different angles, the town, the approximate number of floors and the history of the problem. This information helps us prepare the visit, but photos cannot certify the condition of a facade or the safety of its anchors.

How it can be solved

Defective parts are removed with protection in place, the base is prepared and the system is rebuilt respecting thicknesses, curing times and the intended finish.

Tools, products and the access system are chosen according to the substrate and the conditions of the job. Rope access, suspended scaffolding, tube scaffolding or a platform can be used where appropriate; no technique is universally better than the others.

What can go wrong if only the appearance is fixed

The area to be repaired may grow if hidden areas are uncovered during the work.

On exterior elements we also need to check how water drains away, how the joints behave and what maintenance the finish will need. Preparation and details often determine whether a stain, a crack or a flaking layer comes back.

How the quote for repair of render and coatings is prepared

There is no single responsible rate for every building. For this job the key factors are: surface area and measurements; condition of the substrate; preparation and protection of third parties; the chosen material and its thickness. To compare proposals, it helps to list materials, labour, safety measures, access equipment and exclusions separately. See how to request a detailed quote.

Frequently asked questions

Is the whole wall always stripped?

No; the scope is set according to adhesion and condition.

What about salts?

Active damp must be resolved and compatible materials chosen.
