What this work involves
Review masonry, joints, junctions and moisture together. Cleaning or a new coating does not automatically solve underlying defects. Assess the cause and test treatment where appropriate.
- Masonry and joint survey
- Damaged material repair
- Appropriate cleaning and finish
- Window and roof connections
- Access and protection
Use the following design considerations when coordinating this service with a wider project. Agree which parts apply to your request.
Compare glazing and shading as connected envelope components.
What the drawing needs to explain
Record window orientation, opening elements and existing shade. Add the main use periods so a specialist can assess the comfort question concretely.
Allow for later maintenance
Keep operating instructions and maintenance agreements for the different systems together. Record where filters and inspection points must remain accessible.
Which trade-off matters?
More glazing does not automatically call for active cooling. Compare window size, shading and use first, then assess which technical provisions are appropriate.
Cost factors for this service
Area, damage, method and scaffolding affect the price. A test area may help establish the approach.
Bring this to the discussion
Overall and detail photographs, damage and known moisture issues.
