What this work involves
Assess cracks, falls, junctions and balustrade fixings. Coordinate with building management where elements are shared.
- Structural condition
- Waterproofing and floor finish
- Balustrades and drainage
Use the following design considerations when coordinating this service with a wider project. Agree which parts apply to your request.
Assess outdoor screening without unnecessarily blocking desired garden sightlines.
What the drawing needs to explain
Draw sightlines from two seats and show shading positions. Review the same layout in daylight and with interior lights on; privacy works differently in those situations.
Allow for later maintenance
Keep controls and glazing accessible with the final furniture arrangement. Store glazing and shading instructions together, including any restrictions on cleaning products.
Cost factors for this service
Costs depend on damage extent, access, structure and finishes. Ask for the scope and selected specification to be described separately.
Bring this to the discussion
Photographs of the existing situation, available drawings and your requirements for balcony & access-deck refurbishment. Identify the elements that should remain.
Questions about the work
What should I discuss before arranging balcony & access-deck refurbishment?
A new coating will not repair a weakened structure. Establish which building defects need attention first.
The design situations here illustrate choices; they are not completed projects or a diagnosis of your property.
