Facades · Marbella and the Costa del Sol
Facade repairs in Marbella
We repair the facade before painting it. We remove what is loose, treat the steel and the cracks and leave the building protected. We have worked for communities of owners and property administrators since 1963.
Facade repairs
When a facade needs repairing
These are the signs we see most often on buildings in Marbella, especially those close to the sea.
- Flaking render or pieces of render coming away.
- Exposed steel or rust staining the facade.
- Cracks and hairline cracks that let water in.
- Broken floor slab edges, cornices or terrace fronts.
- Worn paint that no longer protects.
If there is a risk of something falling into the street, the first thing is to remove what is loose. The full repair can be quoted afterwards.
Step by step
How we repair a facade
The order is always the same. What changes from one building to another is how much there is to repair.
Hacking off
We hack off and remove loose or unsound render, back to a firm surface.
Cleaning
We pressure wash the facade to remove dust, dirt and salts.
Steel and concrete
Where reinforcing steel is exposed we clean off the rust, apply a rust inhibitor and rebuild with structural repair mortar.
Cracks and hairline cracks
We open them up, clean them out and seal them with the right material for their size.
Levelling
We stabilise the surface where it has deteriorated and even out the imperfections.
Painting
Two coats of waterproof facade paint.
Good to know
On ropes or with scaffolding
Where the building allows it we work on ropes. No scaffolding has to go up, and that reduces the cost and the disturbance to residents.
If the job calls for scaffolding or a platform, it is used and it is stated in the quote. When there is an architect's project and a site supervisor, we quote on their measurements.
We use repair mortars and paints from manufacturers such as Kerakoll, Sika and Isaval. The quote states the material for each job.

Before you call
What people usually ask us
How much does it cost to repair a facade?
It depends on the height of the building, the surface area and, above all, the condition it is in. That is why we go and see it before giving a price. The quote is itemised, with each job and its price shown separately.
Does scaffolding have to go up?
It depends on the building. Where we can, we work on ropes and no scaffolding is needed. If the job calls for a platform or scaffolding, it is stated in the quote.
What happens if hacking off reveals more damage than expected?
We tell you before touching anything. That work is priced separately and is only done if the community approves it.
Do you need to go into the apartments?
Sometimes. To hang our ropes we need access to the roof and, depending on the area, to some terraces. We arrange it with the building's administrator.
Do you work with an architect or site supervisor?
Yes. When the job has an architect's project, we quote on its measurements and are paid against the certificates issued by the site supervisor.
