How can we help?

OUR SERVICES

We have worked across hundreds of low, medium and highrises in the region, offering a range of services including concrete spalling repairs, roof replacement, balcony refurbishment, underpinning, glazing and cladding replacement, as well as timber framing rectification.

Structural Repairs

Structural repairs restore the load-bearing integrity of a building's foundations, walls, columns, and roof structure. Our team identifies the root cause, foundation settlement, steel corrosion, or original construction defect, and delivers a targeted solution compliant with Australian Standard AS 3600 and the National Construction Code (NCC).

We repair:

  • Foundation settlement and underpinning
  • Concrete cracking and spalling
  • Deteriorated walls, columns, and structural beams
  • Roof structural members and framing

  • Concrete Cancer Repair & Spalling Rectification

    Concrete cancer (concrete spalling) occurs when moisture penetrates concrete and corrodes the internal steel reinforcement. As the steel rusts, it expands and fractures the surrounding concrete from within. Left untreated, it progressively weakens structural elements and creates serious safety risks, particularly on balconies, facades, and carparks of older buildings in Queensland's coastal environment, where salt air can accelerate corrosion.

    Our concrete cancer repair process:

  • Remove deteriorated concrete to expose affected reinforcement
  • Treat steel reinforcement with a corrosion inhibitor
  • Reinstate concrete profile with structural repair mortar
  • Apply a protective coating system to prevent recurrence

    This is one of the most common building remedial services required across SE Queensland and Northern NSW.

  • Balcony Refurbishment & Replacement

    Balcony deterioration is one of the most frequent triggers for building remedial services across SE Queensland, driven by the region's climate of high UV, humidity, and salt air exposure. Our balcony refurbishment and replacement works restore structural integrity, waterproofing performance, and safety compliance.

    Works include:

  • Waterproofing membrane replacement
  • Balcony slab repair and structural reinforcement
  • Floor finish replacement (tiles, non-slip coatings)
  • Door and window replacement Balustrade upgrades to current safety standards
  • Re-painting and facade reinstatement

  • Waterproofing Repairs

    Failed waterproofing is the single most common defect in Australian buildings. A $20,000 waterproofing repair left unaddressed can escalate into a $200,000 remediation project when water penetrates structural slabs, rots framing, or damages the floors below.

    Urban Reach identifies the source of water ingress, from failed membranes, cracked sealant joints or inadequate drainage, and applies durable waterproofing solutions to balconies, rooftops, podium slabs, and basement structures.

    Waterproofing systems applied:

  • Liquid-applied membranes Sheet membranes (torch-on and self-adhesive)
  • Cementitious waterproofing systems
  • Polyurethane coatings and sealants

  • Leak Detection

    Undetected leaks cause compounding structural damage. Our leak detection service uses specialist diagnostic equipment to identify the exact source of water ingress before any repair begins, targeting the actual problem and not just the visible symptom.

    Methods include:

  • Infrared thermal imaging
  • Moisture meters and probes
  • Tracer gas testing
  • Flood testing of waterproofing membranes

    Accurate diagnosis saves property owners and building managers from costly repeat repairs caused by misdiagnosed water ingress.

  • Roof Restoration & Replacement

    Our roof restoration and replacement services address deterioration, storm damage, and age-related failure across all roof types, spanning apartment buildings and commercial facilities to churches and civic structures, preventing water ingress from cascading into broader structural damage.

    Works include:

  • Leak investigation and root-cause diagnosis
  • Tile, metal, and membrane roof repair
  • Full roof replacement where required
  • Roof-to-wall junction resealing
  • Guttering and drainage rectification
  • Cladding replacement and upgrades

  • Cladding & Facade Repairs

    Building facades deteriorate through weather exposure, UV degradation, thermal movement, and original construction deficiencies. Urban Reach carries out full facade restoration including cladding replacement, rendering, protective coating application, and sealant joint renewal, for commercial, government, strata, and heritage buildings.
