A crack in a facade is not only cosmetic. Loose sections are a serious risk where there is pedestrian traffic below, and the building can be held liable for any resulting damage.
Water entering the facade collects behind the cladding and breaks down the adhesive.
Day-night temperature swings drive expansion and contraction in the cladding.
Insufficient adhesive or missing mechanical fixings.
The material simply reaching the end of its service life.
If material has already fallen to the ground, if large areas sound hollow under hand pressure, if there is visible separation at the parapet or soffit, or if balcony soffits have begun to shed, the work should not be postponed.
If the hollow area is a small part of the facade, localised repair is both cheaper and sufficient. Where the problem is widespread, repeated local repairs cost more over time than full replacement — we say so honestly after the survey.
Before any loose section is removed the ground below is cordoned off and the falling-object zone is closed.
