When is your facade due for renovation?
It often starts inconspicuously. A small crack in the pointing. Mortar that crumbles when you touch it. Or a dark damp spot on the interior wall, exactly level with a weathered joint.
These signs point to the same problem. The outer shell of your home is no longer functioning as it should. Loose mortar and cracks in the facade give moisture free rein. In winter, that moisture freezes, causing frost damage that exacerbates the problem further every year.
We see this regularly in homes from the 1960s and 1970s. After fifty years, the original mortar has simply worn out. This is not a lack of maintenance, but normal wear and tear. Nevertheless, it does call for action.
A facade renovation tackles the root cause. Weathered joints are chiseled out and refilled. Damaged bricks are replaced, and the masonry is repaired where necessary. The result is a facade that not only looks better but, above all, does what it is intended for again: protecting your home against weather and moisture.
This is how we tackle a facade renovation
Every renovation project begins with a facade inspection. We assess the condition of the pointing, the masonry, and the underlying structure. Only when we have the complete picture do we draw up a plan.
Inspection and inventory
We inspect your facade for cracks, loose jointing, weathered mortar, and moisture problems. For larger buildings or complexes, such as Owners' Associations or commercial properties, we conduct a comprehensive inventory. View our business services for more information.
1
Chipping out the joints
Weathered joints are carefully removed to a depth of at least 15 millimeters. This is done mechanically or manually, depending on the type of masonry. For monumental buildings or soft stone, we always work by hand.
2
Repair and repoint masonry
Damaged facing bricks are replaced with bricks that match in color and size. We then apply new mortar in the correct joint profile. The bed joint, the flush joint, and the cut joint each have their own character and technique.
3
Inspection and delivery
Upon completion, we inspect the result together with you. We check whether everything has been finished neatly and discuss any follow-up maintenance, such as impregnating the renovated facade.

Our team can determine within five minutes whether a crack is cosmetic or indicates a structural problem. This experience prevents you from paying for unnecessary work or having something overlooked.
Clear communication
You will receive a quotation stating exactly what we do, how long it takes, and what the deliverables are. No fine print, no unexpected surprises. That is how we work.

To be honest: for light green deposits, you can sometimes try to remove them yourself with a brush and a mild cleaner. Only when the dirt returns or is deeper is professional facade cleaning truly necessary. We prefer to tell you that beforehand rather than afterwards.
Curious about the condition of your facade?
How much does facade renovation cost?
Facade renovation costs an average of €50 per square meter, excluding VAT. For a terraced house with approximately 80 m² of facade, this amounts to about €4,000. The package you choose determines the price, and consequently the warranty period.
Every building is different, so we always prepare a custom quote. There are no costs associated with this. If you would like to know what your facade needs, please feel free to contact us.

Frequently asked questions about facade renovation
If you see loose mortar, cracks in the masonry, or damp stains on the inside of the wall. It is also time to take action if the mortar crumbles at the slightest touch. The sooner you address the issue, the less the repair will be required.
For regular maintenance, such as repairing joints and replacing bricks, an environmental permit is usually not required. However, if you change the appearance of the facade, for example with different cladding, this may be the case. Always check this with your municipality or via the Omgevingsloket.
With the right mortar and professional execution, new pointing lasts thirty to fifty years. The lifespan depends on exposure to the elements and whether the facade is impregnated after renovation.
Facade cleaning removes dirt and deposits from the surface. Facade renovation restores the structure, repairing joints, bricks, and masonry. Often, a combination is necessary: cleaning first and then renovating. View our approach to facade cleaning.
Repairing joints in frost is not advisable, as the mortar does not dry properly and adheres poorly. We therefore prefer to schedule renovation work between March and November. Exceptions are possible during mild winters, which we always discuss in advance.
