Balustrades are a safety-critical element of every balcony. If their fixings deteriorate — often due to water ingress at slab edges — the system can become unstable and dangerous. Corroded fixings also accelerate spalling at balcony edges, compounding both structural and safety risks.

Common Failures:

• Loose or corroded balustrade posts.
• Water ingress through unsealed penetrations.
• Rusted fixings hidden within concrete edges.
• Non-compliant heights or loading capacities.

Our Process:

• Investigation
  • Test balustrade fixings for strength and movement.
  • Open up slab edges to assess hidden corrosion.
• Repair & Remediation
  • Remove rusted or failed fixings.
  • Patch concrete edges and reinstate reinforcement where required.
  • Install new stainless steel or galvanised fixings.
• Reinstatement & Sealing
  • Reinstall balustrades to meet code heights and loading.
  • Seal all penetrations with waterproof systems to prevent future ingress.

Why Balustrade Remediation Is Essential:

• Life Safety – Prevents catastrophic balustrade collapse.
• Compliance – Ensures barriers meet BCA load and height standards.
• Structural Protection – Stops slab edge spalling caused by rusted fixings.
• Peace of Mind – Provides residents confidence that their balconies are safe.

Balustrade remediation is where safety and waterproofing meet — ignoring it risks both compliance and occupant protection.
