Maintaining the exterior of your building is crucial for preserving its value, safety, and appearance. Over time, weather, wear and tear, and age can take a toll on key elements of your building’s exterior, leading to issues that can cause significant damage if left unaddressed. At CMG, we understand the importance of proactive maintenance and quality repairs to keep your property in top shape. Here are the services we recommend that can help you protect your building from the elements and extend its lifespan!
Exterior Caulking & Sealants
One of the most critical aspects of exterior maintenance is ensuring that your building is properly sealed against water intrusion. Over time, the caulking around windows, doors, and other exterior joints can deteriorate, allowing moisture to seep in. This not only compromises the energy efficiency of your building but can also lead to other serious issues and structural damage, requiring more extensive (and expensive!) repairs down the line.
We specialize in exterior caulking and sealant services that provide a tight, weather-resistant seal around all vulnerable areas of your building. We use high-quality, durable caulking products designed to withstand the harshest conditions, ensuring long-lasting protection. By regularly replacing and maintaining your building’s caulking, you can prevent costly water damage and keep your property looking its best!
Brick Repointing & Fixing Step Cracks
Brick buildings are not only aesthetically pleasing but also incredibly durable… if they’re properly maintained. Over time, the mortar between bricks can deteriorate, leading to cracks and gaps that weaken the structure. Step cracks, which follow the mortar joints in a stair-step pattern, are particularly common in older brick buildings and are often a sign of underlying structural movement or settling.
CMG offers expert brick repointing services to restore the integrity and appearance of your brickwork. Repointing involves carefully removing the damaged mortar and replacing it with fresh, durable mortar that matches the original in both colour and texture. This process improves the look of your building but also reinforces the structure, preventing further damage and prolonging the life of your brickwork.
Waterproofing Membranes & Coatings
Waterproofing is crucial in protecting your building’s foundation, walls, and other structural elements from water damage. Waterproofing membranes and coatings are designed to create a barrier that prevents water from penetrating the surface, whether it’s a foundation wall, a flat roof, or a balcony. Investing in quality waterproofing solutions can save you repair costs in the future by preventing water-related damage such as leaks, mould growth, and structural weakening.
Our advanced waterproofing solutions are tailored to the specific needs of your building. Waterproofing membranes and coatings are applied with precision to ensure complete coverage and long-lasting protection. Whether you’re dealing with dampness or want to prevent moisture issues before they start, CMG’s waterproofing services are essential for maintaining the structural integrity and comfort of your property!
Concrete & Parging Repairs
Concrete surfaces, whether it’s your building’s foundation, walkways, or steps, are prone to cracking, chipping, and general wear over time. These issues detract from the appearance of your property and can lead to more serious structural concerns if not addressed promptly. Quality repairs can also extend the lifespan of your concrete surfaces.
CMG’s concrete and parging repair services restore the function and appearance of your concrete surfaces. Parging, a technique that involves applying a smooth, protective coat over damaged or unfinished masonry, is particularly effective in enhancing the durability and aesthetic appeal of foundation walls and other concrete structures. Our expert team ensures that all repairs are carried out with accuracy and care, using high-quality materials that stand the test of time.
Railing Upgrades
Railings are a crucial safety feature for staircases, balconies, and other elevated areas. Over time, railings can become loose, corroded, or outdated, compromising both safety and the overall look of your building. Whether you’re looking to upgrade your railings for safety reasons or to enhance the aesthetic appeal of your property, CMG offers comprehensive railing upgrade services.
Our team can replace or reinforce existing railings, ensuring they meet current safety standards and complement the style of your building. We offer a range of materials and designs, from traditional wrought iron to modern stainless steel, allowing you to choose a solution that fits your needs and enhances your property’s look and value.
