CSS Group has been involved in the exterior cladding and coatings market for many years, and has completed many projects ranging from very large commercial contracts to residential housing. The key to our success lies in “doing it right the first time”. With this attitude coupled with our experience, we are able to identify where coating systems, flashings or claddings have failed or have been installed incorrectly and to rectify the problem. We have a very successful team of exterior repair specialists, from inspectors to hands on repair experts. We are also recommended by the markets leading cladding manufacturers and work closely with them during the repair stage.

For this reason we assure minimal disruption to homeowners during this time, making the transition from a leaky building to a healthy, dry home as seamless as possible.
