This highly specialised division of Smith and Winfield focuses on the rehabilitation of the building fabric using a   combination of expertise, specialist techniques and products.

Our harsh climate and coastal location causes decay of the structure which requires periodic repairs to prevent problems compounding if left unattended.

The quality standards of new buildings being produced is declining as a result of poor supervision, bad detailing, low quality materials, unrealistic building times among others. This leads to defects that need to be properly addressed.

Timeous and professional intervention can help keep the building’s aesthetics, maintain its value and make long term savings in the cost of future maintenance.

We provide a Turnkey solution utilising and coordinating engineers and managing specialist subcontractors such as Waterproofers, Aluminium and Glass experts etc, all of whom are acknowledged experts in their trades.
