Belzona Facts
After 5 failed attempts, the work was checked on after 6 months. No defects were found, apart from minor cracking to the concrete adjacent to the repair. The interface is still intact and the small cracks are in the parent concrete due to movement in the area. The repair remains solid, flat, level and safe. The Engineer is now attracting a price from a Belzona Experienced Contractor to pursue all the other areas of damage
