Perth's coastal environment, strong sun and wind exposure can accelerate cracking, spalling and general wear on concrete and masonry façades. For builders, developers and asset owners, timely remedial work is essential to protect the structure, maintain warranties and present a professional façade.
Typical Remedial Issues on Perth Projects
- Cracked or delaminated render
- Damaged slab edges visible on balconies and façades
- Deteriorated heritage lime plaster mouldings
- Weathered concrete panels and GRC elements
- Lead paint and failing coatings on older buildings
Unique Wall Finishes has managed these conditions across aged care developments, high-rise student accommodation, multi-residential towers and heritage assets throughout Perth and Western Australia.
A Systems-Based Approach (Dulux Acratex)
On projects like Wearne Aged Care, Wellington Street student accommodation and 8 Parker Street, our team has installed complete Dulux Acratex façade systems. These systems typically combine substrate preparation, RenderWall levelling, primers, texture coats and protective Acrashield topcoats backed by up to 15-year system warranties.
Slab Edge Remediation and High-Rise Logistics
At Cirq Apartments, Unique Wall Finishes completed slab edge rendering directly from formwork screens on a weekly cycle to match the construction programme. Coordinating remedial works with jump-form or staged construction is critical to maintaining façade progress and meeting deadlines.
Heritage Restoration and Lime Plaster Work
Projects such as the heritage Army & Navy Store restoration, part of the Wellington Street development, have required complete lead paint removal, lime render repairs, tuck-pointing and the recreation of decorative mouldings. Combining modern protective coating systems with heritage-compatible materials ensures both compliance and authentic architectural character.
Selecting a Remedial Contractor in Perth
When choosing a remedial contractor, look for:
- Demonstrated experience across modern and heritage projects
- Familiarity with full façade systems and manufacturer specifications
- Internal tradespeople rather than unknown subcontractor networks
- Documented safety systems and programme delivery
Unique Wall Finishes employs internal tradespeople and works closely with builders, developers and Dulux technical representatives to deliver consistent remedial outcomes across large areas.
