Plaster Crack Repairs

 

Allied Exteriors specialises in the repair and maintenance of cracked plaster cladding systems.

Regular maintenance is critical to the ongoing performance of all plaster cladding systems and this is especially so with the early generation non-cavity systems. Plaster cracks should be repaired immediately to avoid your home from being branded a 'leaky home'.

We specialise in remedial plaster solutions over existing plastered brick, polystyrene, fibre cement and solid plaster using the latest technology texture coatings systems.

Some of the early warning signs indicating your plaster cladding system requires maintenance work includes:

  • Cracks in plaster
  • Delamination of plaster
  • Leaking around windows and doors
  • Water staining on carpet or interior walls
  • Dampness, mould or musty smells
  • Swelling of skirtings or window sills
  • Flaking plaster or paint

Allied exteriors regularly undertakes repairs to plaster homes including the following:

  • Repairs to cracked plaster
  • Grinding out and meshing fibre-cement joints that were not properly jointed during installation
  • Retexturing messy or unsightly plastering work
  • Installation of kick-out flashings to direct water running down roof/wall apron flashings into the gutter system
  • Installation of expansion joints to allow for movement in the cladding and to help reduce the risk of future cracking
  • Retro-fitting flashings to waterproof window and door penetrations
  • Installation of new generation reinforced plaster/texture coatings over cracked solid plaster or plastered fibre cement systems.
