Noticed cracks appearing on your home's exterior? Don't panic — but don't ignore them either. Here's what you need to know.

All cracks are cut out, cleaned and filled with flexible sealant. Render is patched, surfaces are washed and primed for maximum adhesion.
We apply Acratex and elastomeric membrane coatings in 2-3 coats, fully bridging cracks and creating a waterproof barrier.
A final colour coat is applied for a clean finish. All work is backed by our 5-year workmanship warranty.
Hairline cracks (less than 0.3mm) are usually cosmetic and caused by render shrinkage or minor thermal movement. They're generally not structurally significant but can allow water entry over time. Elastomeric coatings can bridge them effectively.
Recurring cracks may indicate ongoing structural movement or a substrate issue. These need investigation beyond simple filling. X Deco can assess and advise on the most appropriate long-term solution.
For cracks wider than 3mm, cracks that are actively growing, or cracks associated with door/window sticking or visible structural movement, a structural engineer's assessment is recommended. We can work in conjunction with your engineer.
We can usually schedule a free crack inspection within a few business days. Call 0404 751 714 or submit a request online.
