Concrete repair at height
Rusting rebar pushes concrete off balcony edges and eyebrows. We sound the surface, chip back to solid concrete, treat the steel and rebuild the profile from ropes or a swing stage.
Concrete work we do
Loose concrete over a sidewalk is a hazard first and a repair second. We can remove what is loose the day we find it and return for the patch.
- Spall repair
Delaminated concrete chipped out, rebar cleaned and coated, patched with repair mortar.
- Crack chasing
Cracks routed and sealed, or injected where they leak.
- Bug holes and parging
Surface voids filled and walls skim-coated before paint.
- Slab edges and eyebrows
Profiles rebuilt to line, with a drip edge where the detail needs one.
- Make-safe visits
Loose pieces taken down and the area protected until the repair.
Questions about concrete repair
Short answers. Call us for the long ones.
How do you find hidden damage?
By sounding. A hammer on solid concrete rings; on delaminated concrete it sounds hollow. We mark every hollow area before any chipping starts.
Will the patch match the wall?
A patch is a different age and mix, so it reads slightly different until the wall is coated. Most repair programmes finish with an elastomeric coating that evens it out.
Is the work noisy?
Chipping is. We agree working hours with the property manager and give suites on the drop notice the day before.
Do you need an engineer?
Structural repairs need an engineer’s detail. We work to it and photograph each stage so they can review it.
Concrete repair on a swing stage
Wide wall areas go faster from a stage. Isolated repairs on a tall wall go faster from ropes. We bring whichever suits the wall.
