Balustrade & External Fixture Remediation
Balustrades and external fixings must be secure to ensure safety and compliance. We replace corroded anchors, repair attachment points, and certify load resistance — preventing risks to residents and extending the lifespan of both the façade and fixtures.

Balustrades are essential safety elements — but also a common source of façade deterioration and compliance risk. Older balustrades often feature corroding steel fixings embedded in concrete, leading to spalling, cracking, and potential failure. Glass balustrades may not meet modern loading or impact standards. Loose fixings or unstable handrails present direct safety hazards to occupants and the public below.

Our balustrade remediation service ensures that aesthetics, safety, and compliance all align.

Our Process

  1. Condition Assessment
  2. We assess balustrades for stability, corrosion, and compliance with NCC and Australian Standards (AS 1170, AS 1288, AS 1657).
  3. Demolition & Safe Removal
  4. Where required, old balustrades are carefully removed, ensuring surrounding concrete or brickwork is not damaged.
  5. Structural Repairs
  6. Any damaged substrates are repaired (concrete patching, brick reinforcement) before new systems are installed.
  7. New Balustrade Installation
  8. Options include stainless steel, aluminium, or glass systems, each designed for durability, minimal maintenance, and compliance with modern safety codes.
  9. Fixings & Waterproofing
  10. All penetrations are sealed with high-performance membranes and sealants to prevent water ingress at anchor points.
  11. Final QA & Certification
  12. Independent structural certification confirms that installations meet strength and safety requirements.

Key Considerations

  • Compliance – Balustrade height, spacing, and loading must meet strict standards.
  • Durability – Materials must resist corrosion in Sydney’s coastal climate.
  • Safety – Failures can be catastrophic; quality control is paramount.

Value to the Client

  • Eliminates safety hazards and compliance risks.
  • Modernises appearance with sleek, low-maintenance systems.
  • Protects surrounding façade elements from water ingress.
