How we approach structural wall repairs
Tap walls to find hollow plaster — We tap light hammers across exterior surfaces to identify loose render and hidden air gaps beneath the paint. Marking these hollow sections ensures every weak spot is found before repairs begin.
Remove loose render down to masonry — We clear away damaged and hollow plaster until solid brick or sound concrete provides a firm base.
Clean and treat exposed steel bars — We treat rusted steel bars with mechanical wire cleaning and protective rust primer before fresh patch mortar goes on.
Embed mesh across moving wall cracks — We press strong glass mesh directly into the flexible base coat. This extra layer stops moving hairline cracks from opening up again.
Fill wall cracks with repair mortar — We fill deep wall grooves with breathable lime or polymer cement mortar to match the density of surrounding bricks.
Let fresh render dry before sealing — The new plaster cures completely so trapped damp escapes naturally before we seal the exterior wall with a topcoat.
Facade Repair & Renovation for dry and solid walls
Solid render without hollow pockets
Sound render stays firmly glued to the masonry without hollow pockets. Light tapping shows a solid base that handles hot summers and cold nights. The outside walls remain strong through damp coastal winters.
Sealed cracks that stop rainwater completely
If you choose spot patch repair, sealed cracks keep rain from getting into outer walls. Strong joints protect indoor rooms against damp spots and white salt marks. The masonry stays sound during heavy storms.
Clean wall surfaces across every elevation
If you choose a full re-render, an even surface finish removes visible patches across the whole wall. Clean lines return across older villas and modern complexes alike. Strong sun will not break down the fresh coating.
We cover the Costa del Sol
Facade Repair & Renovation covers private villas, community developments, and commercial properties across the entire coastal region.
Spot patch repair or full elevation re-rendering
Targeted patch repair works best when cracks or hollow spots appear only in small, isolated areas. We remove loose plaster just around the damage, and fresh mortar bonds directly to the wall. This keeps the work fast and stops water without setting up large work platforms. Chipping back blown monocapa render and patching underlying cracks with structural mortar typically costs 35-70 € per m².
Full elevation re-rendering becomes necessary when hollow plaster spreads across large parts of the wall. Fixing dozens of small patches can leave uneven marks that show clearly under bright Spanish sunlight. Taking all old render down to bare blocks gives the whole wall a clean, solid base.
A complete renewal takes more preparation, but it protects the building over the long term. Fresh render bonds evenly across the surface, so new cracks do not form beside old repairs next winter. The final finish gives the home a neat look with matching colour and smooth texture.
Breathable mineral finish or flexible acrylic coating
Solid masonry walls built with traditional lime mortar need a breathable mineral finish. Mineral coats let ground damp and moisture escape naturally through tiny pores in the wall. Sealing an older wall with tight plastic paint traps water inside the bricks. That trapped damp pushes inward, which ruins interior plaster and creates mould in living rooms.
Modern cavity walls and smooth concrete surfaces perform best with a flexible acrylic coating. Hot summer days make walls expand, creating small hairline cracks across the outer plaster. The elastic layer bends with the wall instead of splitting when the temperature shifts. Acrylic coatings stretch over these moving cracks and keep rain from blowing into the wall.
A mineral finish gives a flat look that suits older villas while keeping walls dry. An elastic acrylic layer resists driving rain and stops red storm dust from settling in. This coating keeps modern exterior walls bright and easy to wash clean.

Is this what you are looking at?
Hollow bulges on painted terrace walls
Moisture accumulation behind acrylic paint separates the outer render shell from underlying blockwork. The blistered plaster can be renewed with breathable mortar, as long as moisture has not soaked into the home.
Rust stains spreading on balcony edges
Airborne maritime chlorides penetrate porous slab edges and oxidize reinforcing steel rebar. The damaged concrete can be restored, as long as rusted steel receives thorough cleaning and protective primer.
Staircase cracks running along window corners
Structural thermal expansion stresses render around unreinforced wall openings during intense summer heat. The diagonal fissures can be stabilized, as long as flexible mortar and embedded mesh bridge the movement.
Flaking render peeling near ground level
Ground dampness carrying mineral salts pushes against impermeable coatings at the wall base. The peeling section can be repaired, as long as breathable lime mortar replaces the sealed coat to release damp.
Loose render falling from rooftop edges
Wind-driven rains dissolve eroded mortar bonds along exposed rooftop perimeters until loose material detaches. The crumbling parapet can be rebuilt, as long as all loose material is cleared down to solid stone.
Your questions, answered
Can residents stay inside during facade repair and renovation work? +
Residents can stay indoors while the work takes place. All repairs remain on outside walls and work platforms. We protect windows with dust covers, allowing daily routines to continue as normal.
How long does facade repair and renovation work typically last? +
A well-bonded render repair lasts as long as the surrounding wall structure. High UV levels on the Costa del Sol degrade paint binders faster than the mortar underneath. Refreshing protective topcoats every decade keeps the repair sound.
Does building insurance cover exterior facade repair and renovation work? +
Standard insurance rarely covers normal wear and slow decay from weather. Sudden storm damage often qualifies for support. Property managers usually send wall inspection reports directly to insurance agents.
Should cleaning happen before exterior facade repair and renovation work? +
Washing the elevation removes maritime salt and Sahara dust rain before mortar goes on. Scheduling Facade & Render Cleaning first reveals hidden hairline cracks. Applying render over unwashed silt prevents proper adhesion.
How does facade renovation match the existing texture of the wall? +
We blend fresh mortar into nearby sections using sponges or floats that copy the original pattern. Once the patch cures, the final coat covers both old and new surfaces evenly. This keeps the repair smooth without leaving visible border lines.
What happens if exterior facade repair and renovation work disappoints? +
A clear satisfaction guarantee protects completed work. Any blistering mortar, cracking patch, or failing adhesion receives our prompt on-site inspection. We carry out necessary adjustments at no added cost.
