Façade Condition & Acquisition Surveys

Whether you're preparing to acquire a new building or you’re responsible for maintaining an existing one, understanding the condition of the façade is critical.

At Euro Clad Project Services, our Façade Condition & Acquisition Surveys are tailored to identify defects, safety risks, and material deterioration at any stage of the building lifecycle. These insights allow you to take action early, avoid expensive surprises, and protect your property’s long-term value.

These surveys are ideal for:

• Property acquisitions – Make informed purchasing decisions

• Planned maintenance schedules – Prevent minor issues from becoming major problems

• Health & safety compliance – Identify hazards before they become liabilities

• Asset management – Support capital planning and long-term building strategies

Routine façade inspections should be part of every property owner’s planned maintenance programme. With early identification of emerging issues, you can:

• Extend the service life of building components

• Reduce the need for emergency repairs

• Improve energy efficiency and water tightness

• Maintain insurance and lease compliance

• Protect occupants and the public

Think of it as a preventative health check for your building’s outer skin—done by industry experts.

Our façade specialists—many with chartered engineering and structural qualifications—deliver clear, actionable assessments using both traditional expertise and cutting-edge tools.

Using drones and MEWPs, we can quickly and safely survey hard-to-reach areas without the cost or disruption of scaffolding.

Where required, we can also perform hands-on investigations and provide safe access for more invasive assessments.

Euro Clad Project Services is uniquely qualified in Structural Silicone Glazing inspections and remedial work.

We are Sika-trained under the Bonding Excellence Programme, allowing us to:

• Professionally inspect SSG systems for bonding integrity and safety

• Carry out non-destructive on-site testing of structural joints

• Undertake destructive testing in laboratory conditions, where deeper analysis is required

• Complete repairs and replacements of structurally bonded glass with full manufacturer-backed procedures

This level of specialist capability is rare and ensures that your SSG systems are both safe and fully compliant with performance expectations.

Should we encounter urgent safety issues—such as loose glazing, failing fixings, or compromised structural components—our team can perform immediate remedial action during the inspection visit to protect your building and its occupants.

After the survey, you’ll receive a comprehensive, user-friendly report that includes:

• High-resolution photographs of all identified issues

• A colour-coded risk rating system (Red = urgent, Amber = mid-term, Green = monitor)

• Recommended actions and timescales

• Costed proposals (if required)

• Full documentation of any safety work carried out during the visit

Our dedicated glazing condition inspections help:

• Fulfil annual H&S audit requirements

• Generate scopes of work for refurbishment tenders

• Conduct routine façade health checks

We use rope access, gantry systems, MEWPs, and cradles (BMUs) to access even the most complex buildings—and where possible, we can carry out spot remedial repairs during the survey itself.

Our surveys are suitable for:

• Office buildings

• Historic and listed properties

• Hotels and leisure facilities

• Retail and mixed-use developments

• Industrial and healthcare facilities

We assess all types of façade systems, including:

• Curtain walling and cladding

• Glazed roofs, canopies, and skylights

• Windows, balustrades, and internal glazing

• Structural Silicone Glazing systems
