Work involved: Concrete Repairs & Anti-Slip Balcony Coatings
Date: Dec 2019 - August 2020
The Brief
A structural report was compiled which showed that many window surrounds and concrete floor edges had defective concrete which needed to be removed and repaired. All works were part of a Refurbishment programme which included EWI, roof work and other works.
The Solution
There were various elements to complete on this project, which needed to be completed in certain stages on all 4 blocks of flats. Firstly all the concrete repairs were completed to the window surrounds and to the floor edges. . Once everything was cured it was time to apply Resideck Rapid system for anti slip coatings. All areas were power-washed to remove all contaminates and debris, then Resideck Rapid Concrete Primer and left to cure. A coat of Resideck Rapid Colour Coat was applied and a colour quartz was applied. Once dry a final coat of the Resideck Rapid Concrete Colour was applied. The final stage of the works was to renew all the joints between the staircases and fit Joint Plates on the balconies and then to fit New nosing's to each stair.
