Property management company Avrasons Ltd called in specialist contractor Cemplas Waterproofing and Concrete Repairs Ltd who were asked to inspect and provide a detailed survey and competitive quotation to refurbish the rear balconies of two three-storey residential blocks at Streatham Close, London which were showing extensive signs of steel corrosion and spalling of the concrete.
Following their survey and quotation, with their wealth of knowledge and expertise the client decided to appoint Cemplas the main contract package. Cemplas were formed in 1969 and operate as a specialist with the capacity and resources to undertake projects in excess of £1m and have a management structure capable of running multi-disciplined projects incorporating a wide variety of trade activities.
The works required Cemplas operatives to jet wash all balcony surfaces and break out defective concrete. This was followed by cleaning and treating of steels with Weber Keycoat steel primer and bonding primer. Re-instatement of the concrete was undertaken with a Weber polymer modified repair mortar and a Weber fairing coat applied to any areas of undulations, chips, uneven areas and blow holes.
Two full coats of magnolia Weber.cote EC elastomeric coating was applied to both sides of the balconies and soffits. A black exterior paint applied to concrete door frames, and a black specialist exterior metal paint to metal was applied to the cast iron pipework and conduits. Defective timber fascias were removed and renewed.
The north east and south east staircases were also refurbished with Cemplas operatives applying protective/decorative coatings. Cemplas provided all mobile tower access, welfare barriers, signs, skips, site compound and storage and office areas which were put in place for the duration of the 10 week programme.
Cemplas Waterproofing and Concrete Repairs Ltd operate a robust and manageable ‘best practices’ approach to business with energy, enthusiasm and the desire to enjoy a good working relationship with those around us and will provide the correct solution by the effective installation of systems that are worthy of long-term guarantees, which can be insurance-backed if required.
The works were completed on schedule, and on budget which was then handed over to the client to their complete satisfaction.
