Despite its many advantages, terracotta is suspect to several deterioration mechanisms, notably freeze thaw actions compromising the glaze, thermal cracking due to its brittle material, inappropriate cleaning and commonly, the corrosion and subsequent expansion of embedded fixings, used in the original construction with no understanding of potential future issues.
Our masons can record, analyse and rebuild terracotta clad facades including remedial works to the underlying steel frame if required.
