Commercial Curtain Wall Repair & Refurbishment Services
We carry out curtain wall repair and refurbishment for facilities managers, building owners, property managers, and main contractors. Our work covers everything from targeted component repairs on individual facade elevations through to multi-phase curtain wall refurbishment programmes across entire commercial buildings. Sectors we regularly work in include offices, hotels, hospitals, retail, education, and public sector buildings.
Our projects include a specialist curtain wall removal and reinstatement programme at GSK Brentford in London and a full glazing and facade restoration at KPMG Canary Wharf, covering the entirety of the building’s commercial facade. Access methods across our curtain wall projects include IRATA rope access, MEWPs, and bespoke access structures, including fixed scaffolding where required.
Why might a curtain wall repair be required?
Commercial curtain wall systems deteriorate over time through exposure to the elements, building movement, and general wear. Common issues include water ingress, defective or loose gasketry, cracked or failed glazing units, damaged fixings, blocked drainage paths, and poorly performing spandrel panels. Left unattended, these defects worsen; in more serious cases, system components can become loose and present a risk of falling from height, with clear implications for the safety of building occupants and the general public below.
Understanding the difficulty of sourcing replacement components for older or discontinued curtain wall systems, we have established relationships with a range of quality system suppliers and manufacturers.
We are regularly asked to carry out the following types of curtain wall repairs and refurbishment works:
- Scheduled maintenance and condition surveys.
- Replacing or upgrading glazing units, including failed IGUs.
- Assessing dilapidation and providing written condition reports.
- Investigating and resolving water ingress and glazing leaks.
- Replacing loose or missing fixings, pressure plates, and cover caps.
- Comprehensive curtain wall refurbishment programmes.
- Replacing feature capping and cover caps.
- Replacing EPDM gaskets and deteriorated system gasketry.
- Clearing blocked drainage channels and weep routes.
- Repairing or replacing structural silicone and perimeter seals.
- Replacing or upgrading spandrel panels.
Each project begins with our surveying team visiting the site to identify defects present across the curtain wall system. We then develop a bespoke repair or refurbishment package and provide an itemised quotation to resolve all issues identified.
