Concrete Repair and Concrete Spalling Specialists in Durban

We start with a site assessment to establish the cause and the extent of the damage. From there we scope the work, price it and agree a programme with you. The same team runs the project from assessment through to handover, so you are not passed between people.

Every project differs, but you get a clear programme after the site assessment and updates as the work progresses. Access, weather and the extent of hidden damage are the three things that most often move a concrete repair timeline, and we flag them at the start rather than at the end.

Common signs include cracking, bulging, rust stains, or pieces of concrete falling away from surfaces such as balconies, columns, or ceilings. If you notice any of these, a professional inspection is recommended.

Concrete repair and spalling treatment require specific expertise, materials, and techniques. Using a specialist ensures the root cause is addressed and that repairs are durable and compliant with industry standards.

Yes, we offer professional site assessments to evaluate the condition of your structure and provide detailed, transparent quotations based on the required scope of work.

Concrete spalling is more common in Durban due to high humidity and salt-laden air, which accelerate corrosion of steel reinforcement within concrete structures. This leads to cracking, expansion, and eventual surface failure.

When completed by experienced specialists using high-quality materials, concrete spalling repairs can last for many years. Proper preparation, corrosion protection, and waterproofing are key to long-term durability.

Concrete repair cost depends on the extent of the damage, access, and the repair system specified. Overhead and rope access work costs more than repair at ground level, and a small area of spalling caught early costs a fraction of a full elevation. We quote per project after a site assessment, and the quote sets out the scope so you can compare it fairly against other contractors.

Concrete spalling is the cracking, flaking, or breaking away of concrete caused by corrosion of internal steel reinforcement. Repair involves removing damaged concrete, treating the corroded steel, and reinstating the area with specialized repair materials to restore structural integrity.

In most cases it can be repaired. Spalling is a reinforcement corrosion problem, so provided enough sound concrete and steel section remains, we break out the damaged area, treat or replace the steel and reinstate it. Replacing an element is only necessary where section loss is severe, and that is a decision we make with an engineer rather than on our own.

Cracking that moves or reopens, rust staining, hollow sounding concrete, exposed reinforcement, or damage to columns, beams and suspended slabs all point to structural concrete repair. Our inspection includes delamination sounding and cover readings, so you get a clear answer rather than a guess.

Yes. A significant share of our work is body corporate and managing agent contracts on coastal apartment blocks, where balcony and soffit spalling is the most common defect. We can provide a scoped condition report suitable for a trustee meeting or an AGM.

Yes. Most of our repair work happens on buildings that stay in use. We phase access, protect the areas below overhead work, and agree working hours with you in advance so the disruption is planned rather than discovered.
