CRACKED RENDER
We provide comprehensive exterior refurbishment, including render repair and replacement, cladding installation and upgrades, commercial window replacement, entrance and reception area modernisation, external cleaning and restoration, signage removal and installation, lighting upgrades, and landscaping improvements. We also coordinate internal refurbishment of vacant properties, readying them for market. Our services cover everything from minor repairs to complete building transformations.
Project timelines vary based on scope and building size. Minor repairs, such as render patching or entrance door replacement, are typically completed within one to two weeks. Window replacement for a small office building usually takes two to three weeks. Complete exterior refurbishment, including cladding or render replacement for a medium-sized commercial building, generally requires a longer timeline. Large projects involving multiple buildings or complex work may extend to three to four months. We provide detailed project schedules during the quotation phase and work efficiently to minimise disruption to your operations.

We also advise on upcoming regulatory changes that may affect your property.
