Facade renovation — Facade specialist

Set out what you want to retain, repair or change and provide photographs of the whole building rather than only the most visible defect. Explain any water-entry history, previous finishes and occupied areas so the renovation brief can separate appearance changes from defects that need investigation first.

Service scope

A planned package of renewal work to an existing exterior, with defined repairs, preparation and finish changes. Renovation is broader than cleaning but does not automatically include structural alteration, complete cladding replacement or an insulation upgrade.

What is normally included

  • Condition-led renovation specification
  • Agreed repair and preparation works
  • Specified exterior finish renewal

What is not included

  • Unspecified structural alteration
  • Automatic inclusion of every elevation and hidden defect

Typical tasks

  • Record existing materials and condition
  • Agree retained and renewed elements
  • Establish repair and preparation scope
  • Complete the specified renovation works
  • Inspect finish and record maintenance requirements

What to include in your brief

  • Elevations and approximate areas
  • Existing finishes and repair history
  • Visible defects and leakage concerns
  • Desired appearance and retained features
  • Site access and occupancy constraints

Choosing the right professional

Ask for a renovation specification that identifies materials, preparation and interfaces. Compare how providers handle hidden defects and sample finishes rather than relying on a before-and-after image that does not explain what building problems were actually addressed.

Important considerations

  • New finishes can mask unresolved cracking or moisture
  • Different elevations may require different repair approaches
