Blistering Render
Blistering can quickly lead to paint flaking and peeling due to the formation of bubbles in the exterior of paint film, resulting from a loss of adhesion followed by the lifting of the existing paint film from the surface underneath it.
When approaching blistering render, we first assess the cause of the blistering before going ahead with the solution. Our team will discuss your end goals for the project in terms of the final look and texture before going ahead to deliver the final result.
Our team has over 17 years of experience in rendering so even in tougher jobs where the paint needs to be completely removed, we have all the necessary materials and equipment to test the surface and prepare it for a new layer of render to be flawlessly applied.

Concrete Cancer
Concrete cancer is caused when the steel reinforcing within a concrete slab begins to rust. As the steel rusts it expands, displacing the concrete around it until it becomes brittle and starts to crack.
Before applying any render over the concrete cancer, we first assess the extent of the concrete cancer and route out the source by identifying the rusted reinforcement steel. Fixing concrete cancer isn’t just a case of rendering over it, first the brittle concrete is removed and anti-corrosives are applied to the steel to ensure the problem doesn’t come back.
Once the problematic rusted steel has been addressed, we apply a fresh render to match the surrounding concrete, and ensure the surface is properly waterproofed to prevent the problem from happening again.
With over 17 years in the industry, we’ve seen all sorts of concrete cancer in Sydney, and our team of expert renderers have the tools, materials and experience to ensure your concrete stays pristine for years to come.

Cracked Walls
Cracked walls are often both figuratively and literally just the surface of a bigger problem within a wall. Time, movement, and moisture can all be to blame for cracks forming in render - however it is important to determine the extent of the damage and the root cause before taking action.
At Crewman, we don’t believe in cutting corners or taking shortcuts. Our team of expert renderers first take the time to assess the cause and extent of the damage in the cracked wall before suggesting the best course of action to fix it.
This involves sectioning off & removing the cracked render, checking for evidence of water or moisture damage, preparing the surface, and re-applying a new layer of render to restore your walls to their original condition.

Control Joint Repair
Control joints are necessary to allow for the natural expansion and contraction that occurs in concrete from temperature changes. Without these joints, cracks can travel across your wall, creating costly damage. The good news is that when the joints do crack, they’re still doing their job of protecting the concrete slabs that they surround. However, it’s important to ensure that control joints are repaired otherwise they may fail in the long term and cause lasting damage to the concrete.
As a building owner or manager who depends on concrete slabs for production or storage, you have better things to worry about than problems with concrete expansion and contraction. Luckily, the team at Crewman has over 17 years of experience in the industry - meaning we have the expertise to operate autonomously without the need for ongoing supervision while we work, allowing you to concentrate on the rest of your project while we ensure the control joint repair goes smoothly.
Before starting work, we make an assessment of the control joints, determine the root cause of the cracks, and establish whether any other joints are likely to fail in the near future. This way we can not only repair any damaged control joints in the concrete, but also address future problems before they happen.
