Local Conditions Contractors Should Plan For
- Face brick. Porous bricks and worn mortar joints can let wind-driven rain through. Repointing or a breathable sealer may be needed.
- Estates and complexes. Many need HOA or body corporate approval, contractor access forms and set work hours.
- Winter rain. Most rain falls from May to August, and outside repairs need dry weather. Book early for spring.
What to Send for an Accurate Quote
- Suburb, estate or building name.
- Where the damp shows, how high and how big.
- Whether it gets worse after rain.
- House, townhouse, flat or commercial property.
- Photos inside and outside the affected wall.
