Common problems with plaster:

• Cracks in exterior plaster systems
• Lack of diverter flashings to direct water away from the wall structure
• Lack of expansion joints to accommodate movement in the building structure
• Poor detailing at abutments (lack of saddle flashings)
• Lack of clearance from bottom of cladding to ground level
• Impact damage to plaster cladding system
• Lack of or poorly detailed waterproofing to penetrations in the plastered walls
• Lack of falls to plastered handrail and parapet tops
• Lack of mechanical flashings to joinery openings

Factors that can affect your property’s cladding:

• Lower roofs
• Windows
• Gutters and rain-heads
• Monolithic surfaces are prone to heating and cooling, causing expansions and movement that lead to cracks
• Inadequate ground clearances
• Junctions where cladding meets another product
