When to Call Us

Four Situations You Shouldn’t Put Off Until Later

Not every problem is an emergency. It is an emergency, however, when it can escalate quickly, affect people, or cause damage to other homes and common areas.

Loose parts or pieces

Siding, cornices, roof tiles, or other facade elements that shift, crack, or could fall onto public roads.

Active leaks

Water is seeping in through the roof, seams, or joints, affecting the interior and getting worse with every rainstorm.

Damaged or Leaking Downspouts

Cracks, open joints, or leaks that extend to facades and courtyards and can damage several floors of the building.

Damage in hard-to-reach areas

Situations where it is unsafe to work from a ladder and it is necessary to gain access using rope access techniques.

First, safety. If there is an immediate risk to people or a danger on public roads, call 112 and keep the area clear. Do not go out onto a roof or lean out to take a photo.

This Is How We Operate

A quick response should also be well thought out

A misdiagnosed emergency can end up requiring two jobs. That’s why we combine speed with a thorough assessment of access, risk, and the source of the damage.

01

Please explain the issue to us

Location, building type, affected area, and visual evidence collected with certainty.

02

We assess risk and access

We determine whether it requires securing, inspecting, or taking action as a matter of priority.

03

We take action and provide a clear solution

We’ll address the urgent issue and explain what permanent repair should be done.

Actual work on the facade

Addressing the root cause prevents you from merely treating the symptom

Cracks, open joints, and deteriorated areas may look the same from the ground. Up close, each case requires a different approach and solution.

The emergency is resolved; so is the cause

Once the immediate risk has been contained, we report the incident to the technical support team to prevent it from recurring.

Frequently Asked Questions

What You Need to Know Before Requesting Emergency Assistance

Do you handle emergency vertical work calls in Barcelona?

Yes. We assess emergencies involving building facades, courtyards, rooftops, and other hard-to-reach areas in Barcelona and its metropolitan area. Specific availability depends on the risk, the location, and the resources required.

What information should I send via WhatsApp?

Provide the address or neighborhood, describe what has happened, how long it has been going on, and whether it affects people or public roads. Add photos or video only if you can take them from a completely safe location.

Can you work without setting up a full scaffold?

In many cases, yes. Rope access techniques allow us to reach the affected area directly. Before confirming this, we assess the type of building, the anchor points, and the safety conditions.

Can an emergency repair be a permanent solution?

It depends on the source and condition of the substrate. First, we assess the risk of water ingress; then we explain whether that measure is sufficient or if a more extensive and durable repair is recommended.

Are you currently experiencing an issue at a high altitude?

Tell us where it is and what’s happening. If you can send us photos from a safe location, we’ll be able to guide you more accurately right from the start.
