Façade & Curtain Wall Repairs for Tall and Complex Buildings

Façade failures can be disruptive, costly, and dangerous, especially in tall, high-footfall, or heritage buildings. The risks brought on by loose panels,  failed gaskets, corroding curtain walling or persistent leaks demand urgent, specialist intervention.

At Building Transformation, we’re technical façade specialists with a deep expertise in façade and curtain wall repairs, maintenance and restoration. We combine skilled specialist access strategies and advanced digital reporting methods to allow us to inspect, diagnose, and repair even the most complex building envelopes, protecting your asset value and reputation.

The importance of façade repairs

In commercial property management, façade repairs are often reactive.

But  delaying repairs risks far greater cost, including interior damage, operational disruption, safety liabilities, and accelerated deterioration of your building fabric. This is particularly critical for curtain wall systems, which differ from standard cladding: they’re integral systems designed to keep the building weathertight while allowing natural light and maintaining aesthetic appeal.

It’s also important to note that a façade or curtain wall problem isn’t just cosmetic; it’s a technical issue that demands specialist knowledge, advanced access solutions, and precise repairs.

Specialist Façade Repairs Across Materials and Systems

We will conduct a thorough condition survey so our team of skilled technicians can implement high-quality repairs. We always focus on using advanced materials and techniques that are tailored to your building’s construction.

We repair and restore:

  • Curtain walling systems: Including gasket and sealant replacement, corrosion repairs, and water ingress remediation
  • Stone façades: Precision stone repairs, repointing, and sympathetic cleaning to preserve heritage features
  • Brick façades: Brick replacement, mortar repairs, and cleaning
  • Metal façades: Corrosion removal, recoating, and structural repairs
  • Glazed elements: Leak detection and sealing for atriums, curtain walling, skylights, and roof lanterns
  • Bronze and specialist façades: Careful cleaning and restoration of unique architectural metals

Our access methods include rope access, cradle systems, scaffolds, or MEWPs and are chosen to suit your building’s architecture and operational constraints, ensuring minimal disruption to occupants or business activities.

High-Level Safety, Quality, and Compliance

Façade repairs are high-risk activities demanding stringent safety controls and quality assurance.

We’re:

  • IRATA International members for industrial rope access safety
  • Certified to ISO 9001 and ISO 14001
  • Constructionline Gold accredited

We develop tailored RAMS (Risk Assessments and Method Statements) for every project, including emergency rescue plans for high-rise working environments. All of our clients are safe in the knowledge that we will deliver complex repairs safely, efficiently, and compliant with all relevant regulations.

Our process for lasting repair solutions

Our process starts with a meticulous façade condition survey. This isn’t simply a visual check but a structured investigation into the root cause of your façade issues.

What We Deliver:

  • Detailed façade inspections using rope access, cradles, or MEWPs for high-rise and difficult-to-reach areas
  • Curtain wall inspections to identify corrosion, loose components, and failed glazing interfaces
  • Testing of gaskets, sealants, and glazing systems for leaks and degradation
  • Digital defect mapping and real-time reporting via SnagR technology
  • Comprehensive 3D modelling and elevation action plans
  • Root cause analysis for all visible and hidden defects
  • Prioritised recommendations for immediate repairs and future maintenance
  • Budget planning support for remediation and capital expenditure forecasting

A condition survey is the first step to resolving façade or curtain wall issues. Without it, repairs may be incomplete, misdiagnosed, or ineffective. Our façade surveys can accurately identify visible and hidden defects and provide us with photographic evidence and precise defect mapping. This enables us to make data-driven decisions about repairs and maintenance and help you allocate budget and avoid unnecessary costs. Our surveys are particularly vital for curtain walling systems, where hidden corrosion or seal failures can escalate rapidly if undetected.
