Professional Wall Cladding Repairs, Installation & Remediation
Wall cladding protects buildings from the elements. Damaged or poorly sealed cladding can cause moisture to penetrate and accelerate the deterioration of the wall system. This can increase the amount of maintenance that is required. At Quin Projects, we provide quality repairs, installation and replacement of wall cladding to restore the performance of external wall systems and protect your investment. Our team will assess the existing wall cladding and identify defects to ensure the right solution is implemented for your property. Where repairs to wall cladding are required, our focus is on restoring the cladding to a condition that meets performance, durability and safety requirements. Quin Projects is a Registered Class 2 Building Practitioner, and so brings a practical and commercial approach to each remedial building and property maintenance project.
Comprehensive Wall Cladding Services
Wall cladding deterioration may occur for a number of reasons, including exposure to the elements and movement within the wall. If these issues remain unresolved, they may allow defects to worsen and extend the scope of the future work required to rectify them. Repair work is undertaken on an area-by-area basis, considering the condition of the wall cladding system. Repair of wall cladding systems may include the reinstatement of wall cladding sections, sealing of joints, or the replacement of wall cladding fixings or other wall cladding system components. Our experienced staff are able to assess your requirements and provide you with advice. A range of cladding system services are provided by QUIN Projects, including repair, replacement and installation of wall cladding systems. The services are provided to existing wall cladding systems of various ages and conditions. The extent of the work is based on the type of wall cladding system, the level and the cause of wall cladding system deterioration, performance and any other issues affecting the wall cladding system.

Prior to commencement of work, Quin Projects assess the supporting structure, the requirements of the building and the appropriateness of the cladding system. For replacement works the scope should include the removal of affected materials and an allowance for the preparation of the substrate as well as correct detailing around openings and junctions.

Cladding Maintenance and Remediation
Maintenance of wall cladding systems can assist in the identification of developing problems. Cladding remediation refers to the correction of deficiencies that may affect the integrity, condition and performance of existing wall systems. In evaluating wall cladding systems, we consider immediate defects as well as contributing factors. Based on the evaluation, the recommended remedial work may include local repairs, renewal of deteriorated components, correction of defective interfaces and further evaluation of moisture-related issues.
Key Features
- Condition checks for visible wear and deterioration
- Identification of potential water-entry points
- Review of joints, sealants and accessible connections
Benefits
- Encourages proactive building maintenance
- Helps identify repair priorities
Our Wall Cladding Specialisations
Due to the nature of the building use and construction, various challenges are presented when evaluating and addressing wall cladding systems. Our services may be adjusted accordingly.
External Wall Cladding Repairs
Over time, external wall claddings may deteriorate. Repairs may be required to external wall claddings and seals. It is important to evaluate defects and interfaces, as issues may be associated with movement and water ingress behind the wall cladding.
- Repair of damaged external cladding sections
- Assessment of deteriorated joints and connections
- Investigation of visible moisture-related defects
- Remedial work to affected areas where appropriate
Exterior Cladding Replacement and Restoration
When external cladding has extensively deteriorated or is no longer suitable and compatible with the function of the building, we recommend full replacement. In other instances, wall cladding restoration may be more appropriate. The appropriate option depends on the type, extent and condition of the damage, as well as the supporting elements.
- Review of existing cladding condition
- Replacement of unsuitable or severely damaged sections
- Restoration of repairable cladding components
- Coordination of associated remedial works where required
Building Cladding Remediation
It is important to consider what is beyond the visible surface when dealing with building cladding. Issues related to the façade may include defective seals and details, as well as moisture affecting other elements of the building, which are the true source of the cladding issues. In some cases treating only the visible problems will not solve the issues affecting the building. The goal of building cladding remediation is to understand the source of the issues affecting the building and what will address them. Defining the scope of the work is necessary prior to deciding on repair options.
- Investigation of recurring cladding defects
- Assessment of adjoining building interfaces
- Identification of potential moisture pathways
- Coordination of appropriate remedial repairs
Cladding Maintenance and Condition Reviews
A planned maintenance approach to cladding provides property managers and owners an understanding of how the cladding system is performing over time. Regular reviews may show deterioration of seals and other components of the cladding system. The cladding system may require ongoing, periodic maintenance, depending on building exposure and the existing condition.
- Visual condition reviews of accessible areas
- Identification of visible deterioration and damage
- Maintenance recommendations based on observed conditions
- Prioritisation of repair and restoration requirements
