What problems we deal with in this job

Leaks over storage areas, blocked gutters and ageing seals can cause progressive damage.

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 access, risks on fragile roofs, compatibility with equipment and suitable time slots for the work.

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.

Maintenance

How it can be solved

Work can include clearing rainwater drainage, repairing joints and flashings, always in line with safety measures and the limits of the building system.

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

Nobody should walk on skylights or fragile roofs without specific protective measures.

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 exterior maintenance of industrial buildings 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.
