Façade work
The façade protects the whole building — maintaining it is an investment in the property's value.
A façade shields the building from rain, frost and UV radiation. Small defects such as cracks, crumbling joints or flaking paint let moisture into the structures and grow year by year. A repair done in time is almost always cheaper than a major overhaul later.
We carry out façade repairs and maintenance with an experienced crew for housing companies, property owners and businesses, fitting the work around residents' and users' daily lives.

A condition survey before the repair
A larger façade repair is usually preceded by a condition survey that establishes the cause and extent of the damage. With it, the repair can be scoped correctly — neither too light nor unnecessarily heavy.
In a housing company, a façade project is decided at the general meeting, and work that changes the building's appearance may need a permit from building control. It is worth establishing the permit requirement at the start.
Season and schedule
Much façade work, such as painting and mortar repairs, needs suitable weather, so it is usually scheduled for the frost-free season. It pays to start the project well before the season begins.

Façade work
Common questions
When should a façade be repaired?
When the surface shows cracks, flaking, crumbling or moisture marks. The earlier the damage is repaired, the smaller the job.
Does a façade repair need a permit?
Work that changes the building's appearance, such as a change of colour or material, may need a permit from the municipal building control authority. Maintenance that keeps the façade as it is usually does not. Check the requirement with building control before work begins.
Do you do façade work for housing companies?
Yes. We carry out façade work for housing companies, property owners and businesses.
Can a façade be repaired in winter?
Some work can be done in the cold season, but painting and many mortar repairs need warm, dry weather. We go through the timing at the site visit.
