Before you get a quote

Four things to know first

  • A contractor licence is needed over A$5,000 NSW requires a contractor licence for building or trade work valued above A$5,000 in labour and materials, GST included. Because NSW has no licence class of its own for concrete cancer repair, ask whoever quotes which licence the work is done under.
  • In a strata scheme, ask who is responsible The NSW Government puts maintenance and repair of common property with the owners corporation, while owners repair what is inside their own property. Where it is unclear, the strata plan and by-laws decide.
  • Apartment blocks have a design step The NSW Government says class 2 remedial building work falls under the Design and Building Practitioners legislation and needs a design from a registered design practitioner.
  • Strata schemes have their own rules The NSW Government says the owners corporation plans and pays for repairs to common property, and owners ask their strata manager or secretary when unsure. Check the strata plan and by-laws before arranging a repair.

Three steps

From enquiry to quote

  1. Tell us what you can see Describe the rust stains, cracks, broken edge or bare bar, and say where it is: balcony, landing, wall or step.
  2. It is passed on Your enquiry goes to one independent local provider covering Wollongong. The provider pays for the introduction; you never do.
  3. A provider inspects and quotes The provider inspects the concrete, then gives you a written price for the work. That price is theirs to set.

Concrete Cancer Repair across Wollongong

Concrete cancer begins at the steel and works outward. UNSW's School of Materials Science and Engineering explains that water can seep in through cracks or pores and react with the steel reinforcing to form rust. The trouble is twofold: the corrosion product takes up more volume than the metal it formed from, and the part of the concrete that gives it strength is the part that is corroding. A rust stain or a hairline crack is worth looking at before a piece comes away.
