Safety without a platform

At Bertolit, we understand the urgency and importance of making buildings safe. In order to respond effectively to the needs of management companies within short deadlines, we have developed expertise in rapid, safe interventions, notably without the use of aerial platforms. Our teams, equipped with appropriate equipment and trained in working at height, can carry out safety operations quickly and efficiently. Whether it’s securing unstable architectural elements, reinforcing damaged structures, or carrying out emergency closures, we guarantee rapid intervention, in full compliance with safety standards, while minimizing the impact on the building’s day-to-day activity. Our approach ensures optimum responsiveness, which is essential for management companies who need to deal with emergency situations within a maximum of 5 days.

Small-scale masonry

Bertolit excels in small-scale masonry work, responding quickly and efficiently to the demands of our customers. Our specialized team handles a wide range of masonry tasks, such as repairing cracked walls, restoring stone or brick joints, installing tiles and pavers, replacing shutter hinges and hooks, opening technical shafts and passing slabs, carrying out soundings to study the composition of a construction for an engineer’s report, replacing rainwater collection channels, emergency shoring and resolidifying posts/poles. For example, we repair damaged concrete staircases, rebuild collapsed low walls, or renovate balconies and terraces requiring special attention.
Each project is treated with the utmost care, using quality materials and appropriate techniques to guarantee durability and aesthetic appeal.
Our ability to deliver fast turnaround times and professional, meticulous results makes Bertolit the partner of choice for management companies looking for fast, reliable masonry solutions.

When leaks threaten your building, our team of leak detection experts mobilizes urgently to prevent potential damage. We understand the risks and consequences of undetected leaks, which is why we act quickly to locate and solve the problem. To determine the location of water leaks in inverts or perimeter walls, we provide small-diameter core drilling. Don’t let leaks cause unnecessary damage to your building.

Thermal bridge control

Controlling thermal bridges is an essential intervention in maintaining the energy efficiency of buildings.
Specializing in rapid diagnostics, we identify those critical areas where heat loss is high, such as wall junctions, windows or roof intersections.
Our team uses state-of-the-art tools, such as thermal imaging cameras, to quickly locate these thermal bridges.
Once identified, we intervene promptly to make the necessary corrections, such as improving insulation or repairing air leaks.
These urgent actions not only immediately reduce heat loss, but also prevent humidity and comfort problems inside the building, ensuring both energy savings and a healthy indoor environment.
