Permasteelisa Group, the UK’s leading international façade specialist, has grown its FaçadeCare business, which is dedicated to extending the lifespan of façades on buildings across the UK, by 60 per cent in the last 12 months.

The FaçadeCare team, based in London, specialises in maintaining, protecting and enhancing façades - preserving their value, reducing running costs and improving environmental performance. The specialist team of ten has worked on over 400 projects across the UK, including Grade I and Grade II listed buildings, those designed and built by Permasteelisa Group and others.

Services include inspections, planned and preventative maintenance, façade cleaning, glass replacement, and emergency call-outs. Inspections are supported by advanced diagnostic techniques, including thermal imaging and water leakage tests, allowing the team to detect and rectify hidden issues before they escalate.

The team’s maintenance capabilities cover the whole building envelope, such as air infiltration testing, fire stopping, servicing of automated components and the supply of critical parts to keep buildings operating efficiently.

FaçadeCare also offers full façade refurbishments to enhance technical performance and sustainability. Drawing on Permasteelisa Group’s expertise, the team can deconstruct, upgrade and renovate façades, preventing demolition and reducing carbon emissions. Where possible, obsolete materials are reused or recycled.

Jalal Fitoury, CEO, Europe for Permasteelisa Group, comments:

“For decades, Permasteelisa Group has been trusted to preserve the façades we design and build. In response to a growing demand for specialist aftercare, FaçadeCare allows us to offer our technical expertise, resources and experience to all building owners and managers."

“A façade represents up to 30 per cent of a building’s total construction cost, so extending its lifespan is crucial. Without regular care and attention, it will age rapidly, which can compromise the property’s energy efficiency, aesthetics, safety, and compliance with building regulations."

“Our team offers a wide range of maintenance, cleaning and refurbishment services, including tailored packages for more complex buildings such as Grade I and Grade II listed properties and those with very specialised finishes."

“Working with designers, engineers and suppliers, our aim is to preserve façades for as long as possible, ensuring buildings remain safe, visually striking and sustainable.”

Permasteelisa Group’s FaçadeCare is also offered to customers in the Middle East, as well as in other European countries.
