Cracked or spalling concrete? Get a free review your body corporate can act on.

A free on-site Asset Protection Review for commercial and sectional-title buildings in KwaZulu-Natal. We inspect the structure, score its condition against the Spalling Worx Building Health Index, and give you a photographed, phased priority plan you can take to your trustees, before small defects become a structural bill.

No obligation. The written report is yours to keep and budget from, whether or not you appoint us for any work.

This is for you if

  • It has been patched before, more than once, and it is back.
  • You know the work needs doing. You need something the body corporate will actually approve.
  • You are not sure whether it is cosmetic or structural, or how urgent it really is.
  • Rust stains, cracking, or concrete flaking or breaking away have started to show.
  • You are building the maintenance budget and need to know what is coming.

What we do, and what you get

One visit. One clear report. In this order:

  1. On-site inspection. We assess the accessible building elements: concrete structure, spalling, exposed reinforcement, waterproofing, coatings, expansion joints, facades, drainage and general safety. Visual and non-invasive.
  2. A condition score. Each element is scored and rated against our structured rubric, the Spalling Worx Building Health Index, so you can see at a glance where the building is sound and where it needs attention.
  3. A finding for every defect. Location, what we observed, the likely cause, the risk, what happens if it is left, and the recommended action. With photographs.
  4. A phased priority plan. Immediate, short term, medium term, and long-term monitoring. So a repair programme can be budgeted and sequenced, not faced all at once.
  5. A two-minute executive summary. The overall picture, the key issues and the priority actions, written so it can be tabled at a trustee or EXCO meeting.

If you then want costs, we provide an itemised quotation for the priority items on request. The review itself carries no charge and no obligation.

Who it is for, and who it is not

For:

Property managers, managing agents, trustees, facilities managers and building owners responsible for commercial or sectional-title buildings in KwaZulu-Natal, particularly Durban and surrounds, and particularly multi-storey buildings and portfolios.

Not for:

Single residential units, cosmetic-only touch-ups, or anyone looking for the cheapest possible patch. Buildings outside KwaZulu-Natal.

Who we are

Spalling Worx KZN is part of a national concrete repair and structural restoration network with more than 30 years of brand heritage in South Africa, delivered locally in KwaZulu-Natal. We work alongside property managers, engineers and asset owners.

Our focus is not simply repairing damaged concrete. It is helping you safeguard the asset, reduce long-term maintenance cost, and make informed decisions with evidence in front of you.

Note: the Asset Protection Review is a visual, non-invasive assessment. It does not replace a professional structural engineer where one is required, and it does not include specialist access equipment, destructive investigation, laboratory testing, or engineering design or certification. Where any of those are needed, we will say so.
