New technology to the solve age-old problems
Y & Cconstruction’s use the latest techniques to arrest the deterioration of your building.
Many older buildings were not made to stand the test of time – in terms of structural integrity and function.
However, we can modernise the integrity and practicality of your building without destroying its look and feel.
- We have successfully and faithfully upgraded many heritage buildings so they are fully functional in today’s modern hi-tech world.
- We safely remove old lead-based painted surfaces and replace them with hi-tech protective coatings that will outperform the original specifications.
A thorough assessment for your piece of mind
We make sure all decayed areas are inspected, assessed, treated, and reinstated to ‘as new’.
On inspection, we prepare a dilapidation report. This report is a thorough record of the condition of the building before the work starts.
This information is especially useful in remedial building and heritage works as it clarifies the extent of deterioration and what work is needed, from day one.
Concrete spalling – nature at work
Concrete spalling is a natural phenomen caused over time by moisture – some say it’s the earth’s way of returning a building site back to nature.
Continual water penetration can cause the top surface of concrete to chip, flake or delaminate. If left unchecked, concrete spalling will eventually cause a building to crumble and fall.
