& Refurbishing
Your Buildings
All buildings naturally deteriorate over time, with the external envelope being particularly vulnerable. If facades, windows, and balconies are not maintained, issues such as damp, leaks, and excessive energy use can affect both comfort and operational efficiency. Structural maintenance of the building fabric is equally critical, as it ensures the long-term integrity and safety of the property.
CRL undertakes external refurbishment to protect both the aesthetic appearance and structural health of high-rise buildings. By addressing external deterioration proactively, we help prevent internal damage, reduce ongoing maintenance costs, and extend the life of the building for the benefit of occupants and owners alike.
Refurbishment
Solutions
CRL provides a full range of external refurbishment services for high-rise buildings, including surveys, concrete and masonry repairs, wall tie replacement, window and door installation, balcony and balustrade repairs, waterproofing, facade cleaning, and protective coatings. In Scotland, we also undertake full facade installation and remediation projects.
We work with a wide variety of systems, including external wall insulation and rainscreen solutions, such as STO Ventec panels, Meteon form panels, and Rockwool panels. High-rise condition and structural surveys are carried out in partnership with our network of architects, structural engineers, M&E consultants, and CRL Surveys Ltd, delivering detailed condition reports and accurate cost projections for short-, medium-, and long-term life cycle maintenance.
& Cost Savings
CRL’s approach ensures that refurbishment projects are delivered efficiently, safely, and on programme. Early engagement allows us to advise on procurement timelines, critical for systems with long lead-in periods, ensuring projects remain on schedule. Our expertise in materials, installation, and survey-backed planning minimises risk, improves asset performance, and delivers value for money.
Clients benefit from a coordinated, multi-disciplinary approach that combines technical knowledge with practical experience. The result is buildings that look and perform at their best, with structural integrity maintained, energy efficiency improved, and long-term maintenance costs optimised.
