A practical approach to repairs and maintenance
The scope is based on what is visible at inspection, the condition of the surrounding materials and the outcome the owner or manager needs. Where opening up an area reveals additional damage, that should be discussed before finishes are reinstated. This is especially important with water damage, bathrooms, balconies and external timber, where the visible defect may only be part of the problem.
Ask The Man’s existing project portfolio is used throughout this website to show actual work rather than generic stock examples. The individual project pages include before, progress and after information so prospective clients can see the type of maintenance and renovation work that has been undertaken.
Frequently asked questions
Can you replace only the damaged section of concrete?
Where appropriate, a failed section can be removed and replaced rather than replacing a much larger area. The condition and joint layout need to be assessed first.
Do you repair trip hazards?
Yes. The St Kilda project is an example of concrete slabs being replaced because they had become a trip hazard.
Can brickwork be matched?
Matching depends on the age and availability of the original brick, but the Dandenong project shows the effort sometimes required to source compatible bricks and caps.
Do you work for owners corporations?
Yes. Concrete and masonry items can be included in broader owners corporation maintenance scopes.
