Frequently asked questions
Clear answers to help your council plan the balcony work.
What does balcony restoration include?
Depending on the building and approved scope, work may include surface preparation, localized repairs, membrane application, and detailing around edges, doors, drains, or railings. The assessment determines what is appropriate for your site.
How do you prepare a quote?
We review the number and condition of balconies, access and staging needs, details that require attention, and any phasing requirements. The quote sets out the work and assumptions for review.
Can residents use their balconies during the work?
Access depends on the work area, product requirements, and curing time. We plan the schedule and communicate access restrictions ahead of each phase.
How long does a balcony restoration take?
Timing varies with building size, access, weather, scope, and phasing. We discuss the expected schedule once we understand the site conditions and work required.
What happens if additional damage is found?
If concealed or additional damage becomes visible, we document the condition and discuss the options and any scope adjustment with your representative before proceeding with extra work.
Do we need an engineer or consultant?
That depends on the building condition and the project requirements. If your strata has an engineer or building envelope consultant, we can coordinate around their scope and recommendations.
When is the best time to schedule the work?
Weather and product conditions affect exterior restoration. Contact us early to discuss the building, preferred timing, and a schedule that suits the project.
