FROM DIAGNOSIS TO DELIVERY

How Our Façade Remedial Process Works

01

Defect Report

We review drawings, photographs, O&M manuals where available and existing reports to determine the nature, extent and likely causes of facade defects. Where required, we attend site to assess conditions, prioritising active water ingress or safety risks. For planned works, we align our assessment with programme and compliance requirements.

We also consider access, sequencing and interfaces with other trades to ensure remedial works are practical and site appropriate.

02

Remedial Specification

Following assessment, we develop a clearly defined remedial proposal, outlining scope, methodology and access strategy aligned to site conditions. This includes preparation of technical specifications, detailing materials, system interfaces and remedial requirements across curtain walling and glazing assemblies.

The proposed scope is structured to reflect building use, operational constraints and programme requirements, ensuring works are practical and deliverable.

03

Programmed Delivery

Upon formal instruction, works are delivered in accordance with the agreed scope, drawings and specifications, using controlled installation methods and site specific RAMS. Site operations are managed through coordinated work zones, temporary make safe measures where required and controlled working environments to ensure safe execution within live buildings.

Installation is monitored against specification requirements, with ongoing quality checks and recorded progress to ensure works meet project and performance criteria.

Common Questions

Façade Remedial Works FAQs

We deal with water ingress, failed insulated glass units, damaged spandrel panels, movement-related cracking, defective perimeter seals and non-compliant glazing or fixing details. Works can focus on specific leak locations or extend to full elevation remediation programmes. Where your needs are closer to full replacement or new-build installation, our Curtain Walling Solutions service may be more appropriate.
