Façade Surveys

Façade Surveys

A thoroughly detailed and well-documented Façade Surveys from Styles Façade Solutions® (formerly Thomann-Hanry®) will actively identify and address hidden structural issues before they escalate. By emphasising key areas of concern, our surveys enable you and your team to make informed decisions regarding repairs or replacements before they become a significant liability.

Taking a proactive approach to structural defects and repairs allows commercial building managers and owners to reduce capital expenditure on more serious and potentially dangerous problems which could develop. This preventative approach ensures the safety of the property while avoiding the serious operational disruptions that major structural failures can cause for tenants.

FAÇADE SURVEYS FOR COMMERCIAL BUILDINGS

Styles Façade Solutions® offers peace of mind through a comprehensive façade surveys. Our team of façade specialists includes qualified professionals to industry standards. This allows us to offer an authoritative, knowledgeable, engineering-led analysis with detailed recommendations for the most effective course of action.

We ensure a swift turnaround on our visual commercial building surveys by using MEWPs (Mobile Elevating Work Platforms) and drone technology. These methods significantly reduce the time, cost, and disruption to your business associated with erecting traditional scaffolding, allowing for a thorough investigation at any height.

The substantial piece of failed façade material, displaying visible cracking, delamination, and soiling, clearly demonstrates the structural deterioration identified during the scaffolding-free survey operation at high level.

Styles Façade Solutions® is able to remove or make safe items of loose masonry during the commercial façade surveys they conduct, helping to reduce the commercial and reputational risks posed to your organisation. These are just a few examples of the items which have been removed and made safe during scaffold-free façade surveys conducted by Styles Façade Solutions.

AVOIDING DISRUPTION THROUGH PREVENTATIVE COMMERCIAL FAÇADE SURVEYS

Our priority is ensuring the safety of your building. Unlike many firms, our technicians are equipped to ‘make safe’ any immediate hazards discovered during the survey – such as loose masonry or failing fixtures – protecting the public, your staff and the building structure itself during the initial façade survey visit.

Unlike most companies, we can also make safe any issues, which pose a significant danger to either the public, your staff, or the integrity of the building, during the façade survey visit.

COMPREHENSIVE FAÇADE SURVEY REPORTS

Following our inspection, you will receive a detailed report which includes photographs of any defects or areas of concern. We use a colour-coded system to categorise risk levels: areas which need immediate action, those requiring remediation within 1 to 6 months, and issues to be addressed within 12 months.

Any remedial works undertaken during the survey to mitigate immediate safety risks are fully documented, giving property owners a full record of where potential issues have been rectified.
