What we do on facades

The facade protects the house from the weather. When the render cracks, flakes off or lets in damp, it pays to renovate before the damage reaches the masonry. We check the condition and suggest what is needed.

  • Repairing cracks and spalling
  • New render with reinforcing mesh
  • Facade painting
  • Plinths and window junctions
  • Putting up and taking down scaffolding

Well prepared

Checking the condition

We tap the render, look for hollow areas and damp, and work out whether a new coat of paint is enough or the facade needs re-rendering.

Weather and season

Render and paint need dry weather and temperatures above five degrees. We plan the work so that it doesn’t run into the frost.

How it works

From the first look to the scaffolding coming down.

  1. Site visit

    We check the render, substrate and junctions and discuss colour and texture.

  2. Quote

    You get a quote covering scaffolding, preparation and schedule.

  3. Renovation

    We put up the scaffolding, repair, render and paint.

  4. Handover

    We take down the scaffolding, tidy up and walk round the facade with you.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a permit?

Usually not for repainting in the same colour. For a new colour or texture, the municipality may have a say. We clarify this with you.

How long will the scaffolding be up?

For a single-family house, usually two to four weeks, depending on the scope and the weather.

Is a new coat of paint enough?

Often yes, if the render is sound. Hollow or badly cracked areas have to be repaired first.

Can I insulate at the same time?

Yes. External insulation or thermal insulating plaster makes the house more energy-efficient. The canton of Zurich offers subsidies for this.
