Facade Repair & Restoration across Newtown buildings

The Supcon approach is the same anywhere in Sydney metro: find the source, scope it properly, fix it once. The suburb’s build wave and exposure profile change the diagnosis, not the standard.

Understanding Facade Defects

Facades are complex systems made up of multiple components including render systems, brickwork, concrete elements, sealants, flashings, expansion joints, coatings and waterproofing interfaces.
