Specialists
in renovation of non-traditional houses.
It
is important that your home is professionally renovated by
experts. We are often called upon to repair poor renovation
work by lesser experienced companies and 'bodger' builders.
Carrying out renovation work twice costs more and creates more
upheaval for you, the Customer.
We
have gathered together some 'horrors', recent renovation works
carried out by other companies to demonstrate pitfalls and
other examples where essential repair work was required.
| The
new rendering applied by a builder has cracked away
from the building and was falling off in large chunks.
Septaluk
use specialist materials and prepare surfaces in line
with the requirements of the type of building.
Consideration is given to structural movement and
moisture, preventing these types of problem. |

|
A
rotting corner of a BISF house has been incorrectly filled and is tearing away
from the substrate. The original problem of damp penetration
from the corroded down pipe needed to be addressed to
prevent further rotting of the building structure.
|
| The
exterior cladding was rusting and not protecting the
structure from the wind and rain. |
 |
|

|
Paint
is peeling from the surface of the cladding or this
building.
Septaluk
uses special materials, resilient to the effects of
the weather.
|
| The
old render has 'bloomed' and broken away from the
wall. The structure suffers from a lack of protection
and water can attack the frame. |
 |
 |
Root
damage has been suffered from a tree causing movement,
this has resulted in a break up of the render and
potential foundation damage. |
| Render
damage to the area beside the door and above the side
gate, caused by damp ingress due to bad coping stones
above bridging the upper cladding causing rot on
the corner of the upper cladding. |
 |
 |
The
soffit/ eaves paintwork is peeling and the damp has
penetrated these plates causing rot. |
| Render
opening up. This property had been recently 'repaired'
by another building company, but it did not last
long!! |
 |
 |
A
property undergoing 'repair' involving a wet render on
a paper backing by another building company. The
outcome would be a breakdown of the render in
the short to medium term and a likelihood of continued
'rotting' of the building structure due to damp.
An
example of how not to repair a BISF home.
