What the service covers - Old-house maintenance

What the service covers

Assess the old building, repair every identified fault, and hand back a sound structure

  • Structural condition check

    Early detection of hidden faults in walls, ceilings and floors

  • Crack treatment

    Inject structural and surface cracks with a method matched to depth and type

  • Facade restoration

    Remove failing render and recoat the facade with UV-resistant layers

  • Rust and corrosion repair

    Clean exposed steel, treat corrosion and protect against coastal moisture

  • Waterproofing and leaks

    Trace roof and bathroom leaks and apply a durable waterproof barrier

  • Interior finish renewal

    Repair hollow tiles and damaged plaster and repaint internal surfaces

Materials and methods used

  1. Polymer-modified repair mortar

    Bonds to old concrete and flexes with it without cracking under high heat

  2. Epoxy crack-injection resin

    Low-pressure injected into fine cracks to restore full structural continuity

  3. Elastomeric UV-resistant coating

    Absorbs wall movement from thermal expansion and reflects heat off the facade

  4. Marine-grade silicone sealant

    Applied around window frames and joints to stop moisture and fine dust ingress

Common mistakes to avoid

  1. Painting directly over rust

    Hides the fault briefly but rust expands underneath and breaks the coating within months

  2. Ignoring the crack cause

    Filling cracks with filler without diagnosing the cause leads to deeper recracking

  3. Waterproofing without surface prep

    Applying membrane on a dirty or damp surface prevents adhesion and causes early failure

  4. Using standard plaster outdoors

    Standard plaster absorbs coastal moisture and crumbles quickly under Kuwait's intense sun

What goes wrong with most finishing.

The finish is what you see every day, and its mistakes do not hide. These three are the most common.

  1. 01

    A rushed finish

    The finish is what you live with every day. Rushing it shows in every corner.

  2. 02

    Four contractors for one finish

    Tiling, gypsum, paint and aluminium crews who never talk to each other.

  3. 03

    After-care that never comes

    Once you have the keys, it is hard to find anyone to come back and fix what shows up.

The solution?

Full finishing, and maintenance after it, from one licensed company.

  1. A bathroom finished in modern marble
    A rushed finish

    Turnkey finishing

    Marble, tiling, gypsum and paint from one company.

  2. A gypsum ceiling with hidden lighting in a modern living room
    Four contractors for one finish

    One company for every trade

    No gaps between the tiler, the gypsum crew and the painter.

  3. A finished modern living room with a marble floor
    After-care that never comes

    Regular maintenance after handover

    And finishing on instalments if you need it.

How it works.

  1. First contact

    Call or WhatsApp us to describe the house condition and fix a visit date

  2. Site assessment

    Our team visits the building and records all visible and suspected faults

  3. Detailed quotation

    We submit a detailed offer covering works, materials and execution schedule

  4. Repair execution

    Repairs proceed in the right sequence from structural works through to finishes

  5. Inspection and handover

    Every completed item is checked for quality before final handover to the owner

What sets the price.

No fixed price list applies because the extent of deterioration and materials needed vary between buildings

Get a quote
  1. Building size and age

    Older and larger buildings need deeper assessment and wider-scope repairs

  2. Visible and hidden damage level

    Hidden damage behind render or under tiles adds time and cost to the works

  3. Repair material specification

    Structural injection resins and high-grade membranes cost more than standard mortar

  4. Site access conditions

    High-level works requiring scaffolding or lifting equipment raise execution costs

  5. Occupied-building constraint

    Working in an occupied house requires special scheduling and coordination that affects pricing

Why one contractor beats four.

Every extra contractor means another schedule and another excuse. With us, one company answers for all of it.

  1. Turnkey

    Shell and finishing with one company, from footings to keys.

  2. Pay in instalments

    Construction and finishing on instalments. Ask us for the details.

  3. Engineering supervision

    Architectural drawings and engineering supervision on site.

  4. After handover

    Maintenance contracts and a 24-hour emergency plumber.

Can an old house be maintained without demolishing and rebuilding it?

Yes in most cases. If the structural frame is sound, crack repair, corrosion treatment and finish renewal restore the building at far lower cost than demolition and rebuild. A site assessment determines which approach is needed.

Why do old house facades crack so quickly in Kuwait?

The large daily temperature swing causes walls to expand and contract repeatedly, cracking rigid render. Coastal moisture and fine dust entering the joints accelerate the damage. Treatment with a flexible, UV-resistant coating significantly extends facade life.

When does rust on columns or beams become a structural risk?

When rust causes visible concrete spalling or exposes reinforcing steel, that is a warning sign requiring immediate action. Surface rust without concrete disintegration can be treated by cleaning the steel and restoring the concrete cover.

Can a roof leak be fixed without breaking up all the old tiles?

It depends on where the leak originates and the condition of the membrane below. Localised injection sealants can sometimes suffice. If the waterproofing has deteriorated over a wide area, removing the tiles and relaying the membrane is the only lasting solution.

Can old-house maintenance be carried out in separate phases?

Yes, but sequence matters. Structural repairs and waterproofing must always come before finish renewal. Reversing that order means new finishes are likely damaged later by unresolved moisture or cracks.
