Surface repair for the Construction sector

Construction site teams and property developers have been turning to surface repair specialists for years, however, it’s only relatively recently that they’ve been factoring in the requirement for specialist contractors from the project outset. Given the nature of construction sites, it’s inevitable that there are mishaps along the way – common problems include damage to external cladding, sanitary wear, uPVC, alongside numerous doorframe and window cill repairs. With workers constantly moving around site, often carrying heavy equipment and materials, cosmetic surface damage is an unavoidable consequence in an active working area.

A broad range of surfaces

Mark explains

“As repair specialists, we encounter an extraordinarily broad range of surfaces and surface types. I often get asked what cosmetic elements on a construction site can and can’t be repaired. I’d go so far as to say that virtually any interior or exterior surface can be repaired.

The occasions where we think, ‘that can’t be repaired’ are extremely rare. The simple truth is that the overwhelming majority can be fixed, potentially saving thousands of pounds and precious time in the process.  Our ability to successfully repair such a diverse range of surfaces negates the need to bring in other tradesmen such as tilers, plasterers, plumbers and electricians. Repairing damaged items removes the need to make good or replace surrounding plasterwork, tiles or other substrates.”

The sustainable option

Repair over restoration saves on landfill – an increasingly important factor as construction sites are under increasing pressure to meet sustainability targets and promote environmentally friendly policies. As a company, we saved 3,900 tonnes of landfill waste in 2020 with a staggering 687,000 individual repairs.
