Facade upkeep and rainwater drainage

A stain beneath a gutter or a damaged joint may indicate more than a cosmetic exterior problem.

The situation and its consequences

An exterior mark returns after rain. Before covering it, locate the possible path of water and inspect safe access conditions.

Work to describe in your enquiry

Facade cleaning and local repairs, pointing, cornices, gutters, downpipes and rainwater overflow; assess whether a local repair addresses the actual defect.

Prepare a useful brief

Send an overview and close-up photographs, the municipality, the type of property, any visible model references, access conditions and the result you expect. Where several tasks are involved, list them separately. Photos help prepare the discussion but do not always replace an on-site assessment.

Scope, options and costs

A local repair, replacement or combined assignment may involve different operations. The estimate depends on the actual scope, materials, access and any additional work. No price, start date, completion time or availability is guaranteed here. If a paid site visit is proposed, its terms must be agreed beforehand.

Illustrative working scenario

A recurring stain below a gutter prompts inspection of drainage and adjoining wall before deciding on finishing.

This is an illustrative scenario, not a completed FFS assignment or client reference.

Frequently asked questions

Can photos establish the cause?

They help locate the issue, but inspection may be needed.

Can a small repair be discussed?

Yes, describe the location and access.

Is repainting automatic?

No, include it explicitly in the scope.

Can I request a quote from a photo?

Photos can help establish the scope; further information or an inspection may be needed before an estimate.
