Strata Remedial

Addressing issues in balconies, terraces, and roofs to prevent moisture intrusion​.

Involves applying waterproof membranes, sealants, and coatings to surfaces exposed to moisture. This can include liquid-applied membranes, sheet membranes, and cementitious coatings. Common areas treated include balconies, terraces, roofs, basements, and bathrooms. Proper surface preparation and detailing are crucial to ensure the effectiveness of waterproofing systems.

Common Issues Addressed: Leaks, water ingress, and mold growth.

Techniques Used: Torch-on membranes, polyurethane coatings, and bituminous sealants

Fixing spalling, cracks, and other structural issues, often referred to as concrete cancer.

Involves the repair of concrete spalling, cracks, and delamination. This includes the use of epoxy injections, cementitious patch repairs, and corrosion inhibitors. Concrete cancer, or corrosion of reinforcing steel, often requires removing damaged concrete, treating the steel, and applying repair mortars.

Common Issues Addressed: Structural instability, aesthetic damage, and safety hazards.

Techniques Used: Crack injection, spalling repair, and cathodic protection​

Restoring and upgrading the exterior of buildings to maintain aesthetic appeal and structural integrity

Includes cleaning, repairing, and restoring building exteriors. Techniques can involve repointing masonry, replacing damaged cladding, and applying protective coatings. Facade repairs often require scaffolding or rope access techniques.

Common Issues Addressed: Cracks, water ingress, and weathering.

Techniques Used: Repointing, cladding replacement, and anti-graffiti coatings​.

Ensuring balconies are safe and functional with no water ingress issues, cracks or damage. ​

Involves repairing or replacing balustrades, waterproofing balcony surfaces, and addressing structural issues. This may include reinforcing or replacing structural elements, applying non-slip coatings, and ensuring proper drainage.

Common Issues Addressed: Water leaks, structural damage, and safety concerns.

Techniques Used: Balustrade replacement, surface waterproofing, and concrete patch repairs

Strengthening and stabilizing the building structure, including beam, slab, or column repairs​

Encompasses the strengthening and stabilization of structural elements such as beams, columns, and slabs. Techniques can include the use of carbon fiber reinforcement, steel plates, and additional concrete layers.

Common Issues Addressed: Structural failures, load-bearing issues, and compliance with building codes.

Techniques Used: Carbon fiber wrapping, steel plate bonding, and jacketing​​.

Upgrading old or damaged windows and doors to meet current standards

Involves the removal of old windows and doors and the installation of new, energy-efficient units. This process ensures proper sealing, alignment, and functionality. New installations often include double-glazing and thermal break frames to enhance energy efficiency.

Common Issues Addressed: Air leaks, thermal inefficiency, and security concerns.

Techniques Used: Double-glazing, thermal break technology, and proper flashing​ .

Special attention to preserving and restoring heritage-listed buildings

Focuses on preserving and restoring the historical features of heritage-listed buildings. This can involve careful cleaning, repair, and replication of original materials and techniques to maintain historical integrity.

Common Issues Addressed: Deterioration of historical materials, compliance with heritage regulations, and maintaining aesthetic value.

Techniques Used: Lime mortar repointing, traditional carpentry, and specialist cleaning methods​.

Applying treatments to protect against environmental damage and deterioration

Application of coatings and membranes to protect surfaces from environmental damage. This can include anti-corrosion coatings for steel, anti-carbonation coatings for concrete, and various waterproofing membranes.

Common Issues Addressed: Corrosion, weathering, and chemical exposure.

Techniques Used: Polyurethane coatings, epoxy coatings, and bituminous membranes​​.

Facade repair, refurbishment and replacement involves restoring and/or replacing the exterior surfaces of buildings to maintain structural integrity and aesthetic appeal, ensuring long-term durability and visual enhancement.

Common Issues Addressed: Fading, peeling, cracking, combustibility issues and aesthetic upgrades.

Techniques Used: Surface cleaning, crack repair, application of weather-resistant coatings, installation of modern cladding systems, and integration of energy-efficient materials.

Addressing issues caused by fire or adverse weather conditions​

Comprehensive repairs addressing damage from fires, storms, or other weather events. This can include structural repairs, replacement of damaged materials, and restoration of electrical and plumbing systems.

Common Issues Addressed: Structural damage, water ingress, and safety hazards.

Techniques Used: Structural reinforcement, material replacement, and system restoration​.

Ongoing upkeep to ensure the building remains in good condition

Routine tasks to keep the building in proper working order. This includes HVAC system maintenance, plumbing inspections, electrical system checks, and general upkeep of common areas.

Common Issues Addressed: System failures, safety hazards, and compliance with standards.

Techniques Used: Regular inspections, system servicing, and preventive measures​.

Fixing issues related to water ingress to prevent damage and maintain structural integrity​

Identifying and repairing sources of water ingress. This involves inspecting and sealing joints, applying waterproofing solutions, and repairing any damaged building elements.

Common Issues Addressed: Water damage, mold growth, and structural weakening.

Techniques Used: Leak detection, joint sealing, and application of waterproof membranes.
