The entrance group is the face of the entrance and the most accessible place in the apartment building. That's why it's not enough to do good repair in terms of quality and aesthetics. Much more important is the convenience and functionality of solutions, as well as the wear resistance of materials and equipment.

Porch apartment building most susceptible to stress and external influences. Even concrete steps, canopies and fences wear out and become unusable within a few years under the influence of precipitation, temperature changes and mechanical damage. That is why, according to the requirements of the Decree of the State Construction Committee of the Russian Federation No. 170 of 2003, they are repaired once every 3-5 years.

The functional purpose of the entrance groups dictates the requirements for their equipment, design and constructive solutions, which in turn determine the content and scope of repairs. The entrance (porch) group of the entrance to a residential building performs several important functions:

Aesthetic function- the entrance group decorates the building and entrance, therefore it must correspond to its architecture and design

Protective function- the entrance group protects the entrance to the entrance from precipitation, possible snow melting, and falling objects from a height. In addition, the entrance area is illuminated evening time and is equipped with cameras, which helps ensure the safety of residents

Energy saving function- entrance groups equipped with a vestibule help to retain heat in the entrance, reducing overall heating costs

Information function- entrance groups are equipped with notice boards (in some houses - monitors) and mailboxes

Communication function- the entrance group provides passage to landings and elevators.

PREPARATION FOR REPAIR OF THE ENTRANCE GROUP OF MKD

The entrance group, according to Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 491 of 2006, belongs to the common property of the owners of apartment buildings, therefore its contents and Maintenance financed from funds collected for the maintenance and repair of the common property of the apartment building, that is, at the expense of the owners. If replacement of the load-bearing structures of the entrance group is required, or its complete reconstruction, then such work is classified as major renovation MKD.

The basis for current repairs of the entrance group is an agreement between the owners of the apartment building and management company, which specifies the responsibilities of the management company, the grounds and procedure for allocating funds for repairs and the frequency of ongoing repairs.

After receiving the application, the management company is obliged to create an assessment commission, which makes a decision on the condition of the entrance group and the entrance as a whole.

Cosmetic (current) repairs of the entrance area are financed from the funds that the owners of the apartment complex contribute monthly for the maintenance and repair of the common property of the apartment building. If, as a result of an inspection of the entrance group, it is determined that it is subject to major repairs, then financing is provided from the fund formed under the article “Major repairs”.

Hello!

The entrance porch of a residential apartment building is part of the common property of the apartment building.

Article 39 of the Housing Code of the Russian Federation is regulated by legislative acts of the Government of the Russian Federation.

The Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of August 13, 2006 No. 491 approved the “Rules for the maintenance of common property in an apartment building” (hereinafter referred to as the Rules).

According to clause 2. of the Rules, the composition of common property includes:

c) enclosing load-bearing structures of an apartment building (including foundations, load-bearing walls, floor slabs, balcony and other slabs, load-bearing columns and other enclosing load-bearing structures);

d) enclosing non-load-bearing structures of an apartment building serving more than one residential and (or) non-residential premises(including windows and doors of common areas, railings, parapets and other enclosing load-bearing structures).

Thus, based on the norms of clause 2 of the Rules, the composition of common property includes:

Foundation under the porch, slabs, part external wall, porch canopy (if it is built as a load-bearing balcony slab) - since they are enclosing load-bearing structures apartment building (clause “c” of paragraph 2 of the Rules);

Doors with staircase, railings, steps, canopy - since they relate to the enclosing non-load-bearing structures of an apartment building, serving more than one residential and (or) non-residential premises (clause “d” of clause 2 of the Rules).

Proper maintenance of the common property of an apartment building in accordance with the Rules is ensured by the owners of the premises by concluding an agreement with the housing and communal services management company or the HOA.

That is, the residents of the house pay monthly for the maintenance of the common property of the management company under the heading “maintenance and repair of housing.” And in order to eliminate damage, prevent premature wear and maintain performance indicators, by decision of the general meeting of premises owners, the management company is obliged to carry out routine repairs.

It should be noted that, depending on the degree of destruction of the entrance porch of an apartment building, it is first necessary to determine what type of repair these defects belong to. If current repairs are required, with minor replacement of structures, then this work is performed by the management company at the expense of funds collected from residents under the heading “maintenance and repair of housing.” If the physical wear and tear of the porch has reached the maximum permissible reliability and safety characteristics, and replacement of all worn elements is required, then this already refers to a major overhaul. Funds for major repairs of an apartment building or part of its property that is part of the common property can be obtained from the Fund for Assistance to the Reform of Housing and Communal Services (Federal Law No. 185-FZ “On the Fund for Assistance to Reform of Housing and Communal Services” was adopted on July 21, 2007).

To do this, residents at a general meeting must decide to participate in the municipal targeted program for major repairs apartment buildings; make a decision, documented in a separate protocol, on co-financing by the owners of the upcoming repairs in the amount of at least 5 percent of the total estimated cost, indicating the types of major repair work; forward this decision to the municipality (administration of the city or rural settlement, on whose territory the house is located); control the process of including a house in the program through the municipality and executive authorities.

In any case, you need to start trying to get the porch repaired by organizing a general meeting of the residents of the house and contacting the management company.

Repairing a porch in an apartment building is a service that sooner or later you have to order construction companies. Indeed, despite the fact that most of them are equipped with canopies, it is not possible to completely protect concrete from the effects of weather conditions. And the harsh Baltic elements of longevity building materials They don’t help at all.

With time rainwater washes away concrete, microcracks appear due to changes in air temperature, moisture enters them, freezes and expands. As a result, the cracks increase, and the porch gradually becomes unusable.

The residents themselves are no less eager to renovate the building's porch: constant physical impact leads to gradual wear and tear facing material, which significantly helps speed up the destructive effects of nature.

Over time, a dilapidated porch not only loses its attractiveness - pieces of cladding falling off here and there can cause falls and injuries. Therefore, it is better not to delay work such as repairing the entrance porch.

Repairing a house porch - what materials to use

How high-quality the repair of the porch of the house will be depends directly on the professionalism of the contractors and on the quality of the materials used.

Here you should draw your attention to the fact that the durability and resistance of the cladding to abrasion and the vagaries of the weather are not the main selection criteria. It is much more important that these materials do not pose a danger to people.

Let's explain - each of us, most likely, has already been “lucky” in winter to encounter a porch lined with tiles that became incredibly slippery in the cold. In order to make a skating rink with it, you wouldn’t even have to douse it with water.

It's all about the contractors' unprofessional approach to such an important task as porch repair work and incorrect selection of materials. Most likely, wanting to save money, they used tiles for interior work, whose service life is not so great, and it freezes very quickly in the cold, becoming a very dangerous coating.

That is why it is so important to approach the choice of materials as carefully as possible, because they directly determine:

• Porch durability.
• Safety of home occupants.
• The attractiveness of the entrance to the entrance.

When contacting IC "Paradny Petersburg", you can be sure that all work will be carried out efficiently, inexpensively and very quickly.

Construction of a porch - estimate and what the cost of work depends on

The estimate for installing a porch depends on many factors. Let's try to understand each in more detail:

1. Scope of work.

If the porch is in good condition, and you want to carry out only cosmetic restoration, then such work will not cost you that much.

In addition, the estimate for metal and concrete porch will be different.

2. List of works performed.

Nothing is eternal. In any house, the most loaded part is the porch, and it is all the more not surprising that even a durable concrete structure The porch of a multi-story building will require restoration over time.

How to organize porch repairs in an apartment building

There are three main ways to repair a concrete porch:

• Contact the company or organization that services concrete house, and write an application providing documentary basis;
• Collect funds from the residents of the entrance and conclude an agreement on repair and restoration work;
• Carry out porch repairs on a voluntary basis on your own.

Important! Try to establish the reasons why the partial destruction of the porch occurred. In addition to normal wear and tear, this could be a subsidence of the foundation or problems with rainwater drainage.

As a result, repairing the porch at the entrance of an apartment building may require significantly more resources than previously planned.

Repairing the porch

Before turning to repairs, you should carefully study the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 491 of 2006. It defines what is common property for all residents of an apartment building. Without going into the legal background of the case, we can say that repairs to minor damage to the porch of a residential building and its steps should be carried out at the expense of the residents. All other types of problems in the entrance of an apartment building are eliminated by the owner of the house or the housing office.

Contact the Housing Office

Before you write an application for porch repair, you must complete a number of mandatory procedures:

1. Compose a competent and detailed description problems with the porch, take photographs and first roughly estimate the approximate amount of work and the cost of materials needed to repair the porch at the entrance of an apartment building;
2. Hold a meeting of residents and draw up a protocol that all participants will sign. By decision of the meeting it is necessary to draw up an estimate and collect cash with the preparation of a statement;
3. Next, you need to write a collective appeal to the owner or to the housing office servicing apartment house, for submitting an application and performing the repair itself by utility workers.

After submitting an application with attached copies of documents, we wait 10 days, and then we will contact you again to receive clarification. If there is no response, no one is going to repair the entrance to the entrance, it is necessary to gather people again and offer to write a complaint to the municipality about the failure to take measures to repair the porch. The complaint must be objective and explain in detail the situation with the porch repair. It is especially emphasized that failure to take measures may result in injury to people on the porch.

If the fight with bureaucrats drags on, and the porch at the entrance of an apartment building poses a health threat, the best option will do the repairs yourself.

Do-it-yourself porch repair

To remove possible claims or accusations about the waste of collected money, it is better to invite the residents of the house to decide collectively and choose: buy materials and repair it yourself or contact a specialized company. The second option will be twice as expensive as the first, but the choice must be formalized legally, with a protocol of the decision of the residents of the apartment building. This is necessary to eliminate possible claims from lazy smart people after the porch is repaired.

If all formalities are settled, we purchase the material according to the estimate and begin the repair.

Advice! When purchasing, you must take receipts for the goods and photograph all materials indicating information about what work they are intended for.

The destruction of a porch in the entrance of an apartment building usually results in a large volume of concrete spalling and destruction facing tiles. During the event repair work, a wooden ladder must be installed on the porch, which residents can use for a period of time until the concrete sets.

To repair the porch, it is better to choose a warm, but not hot day, because most of the work will have to be done in daytime when most residents are either at home or at work. We begin the work by fencing the repair site. Take as many photographs as possible a large number of operations, the pictures will be useful to you later.

At the first stage of repair, it will be necessary to remove part of the top layer of concrete so that the top reinforcement. It’s easier and faster to do this with an electric hammer drill and a grinder with a cutting disc for concrete.

After clearing the debris and concrete chips, the reinforcing ligament should be opened along the entire width of the steps, and at least another 40-50 mm of concrete should be removed under the metal bars.

In places where the reinforcement has been lost or deformed, steel rods must be laid and tied to the remains of the old structure using steel wire or electric welding.

On next stage will need to be collected from wooden planks formwork for pouring concrete mixture and the formation of new steps from the concrete mass. This work takes a lot of time, so it is better to use ready-made panel assemblies than to knock down a frame from scratch.

The entire surface of the porch steps must be laid steel mesh and attach it to the surface of the porch of an apartment building using dowels. Before pouring concrete, intensively moisten the remaining steps with water and add a small amount of liquid soap. To improve the process, you can rub the water with a brush or an old broom.

We prepare the solution for the steps according to the old recipe: for one measure of cement No. 400, three measures of sand and three measures of washed crushed stone, of different fractions. Depending on the volume of filling, a steel container or trough with a capacity of 40-50 liters will be required to prepare the solution. Each step must be filled completely, moving from the bottom to the top.

If the porch repair project involves laying tiles, then it is better to use clinker material; it is stronger and adheres to concrete much better than paving material. The poured steps must remain standing for at least a month before the steps can be resurfaced. If you do not have experience in laying tiles, it is better to hire a specialist with experience, but payment for his services should be agreed upon earlier at a meeting of residents of the apartment building.

Conclusion

Don't forget to record the process of laying the tiles with your camera. After completion, the renovated entrance must be presented to the residents and once again clarify their costs for repairing the porch; usually they go beyond the preliminary estimate. Send information about the repairs carried out to the municipality, housing office and the control and audit department so that specialists from the housing office are not tempted to write off your work at their own expense.

Cracked old tiles on the porch?

I bring to your attention an option for repairing concrete porch steps with laying tiles. The article describes the progress of repairs carried out by the author in 2014.

At the moment, the porch has survived the winter perfectly..

This information does not claim to be the ultimate truth.

Preparatory work for the restoration of the porch steps

The first step is to remove the old tiles and the destroyed part of the base.

There are two staircases going down from the porch. On one side in front of the stairs it was necessary to make a small (1.5 by 2 meters) platform of paving stones.

Next, everything is generously coated with primer and reinforced. I used reinforcement with a diameter of 8 millimeters and laid it in increments of 30 centimeters. The reinforcement was tied together with a two-millimeter binding wire. The edges of the reinforcement were driven into the remaining base.

Installing formwork and pouring porch steps

As a base for the formwork for pouring, an ordinary board with a cross-section of 200x50 millimeters was used, on which grooves were cut out with a jigsaw for the bases of future steps, plus 25 millimeters for the formwork boards themselves. A board of 150x25 millimeters was used for the formwork.

To fill the base, a cement-sand mixture M-300 and fine gravel, up to 0.5 centimeters in size, commonly known as sunflower seeds, were used, in a ratio of four buckets of gravel per bucket of the mixture.

When mixing the cement-sand mixture in a concrete mixer, pure cement was additionally added at the rate of approximately a third of a bucket of cement per bag of the mixture.

Laying the mortar begins from the lower steps and when pouring each subsequent step, it is controlled so that the mortar from the upper step does not squeeze out the mortar already poured inside the formwork located below the step. In order for the entire space to be filled evenly after filling each bucket, the solution is tamped several times with a probe, which I made from three scraps of reinforcement tied around the handle of an old shovel.

The formwork was dismantled on the second day after the completion of pouring.

After which, I let it dry for ten days.

To make it possible to walk into the house, I laid four boards on top of the poured steps, filling them with 40x60 millimeter beams perpendicularly.

Laying tiles on the porch of a house

The adhesive for laying the tiles was specially selected to be elastic, water-repellent and frost-resistant. Before laying the tiles, I marked the middle of the steps and started laying from the middle, since a whole number of tiles did not fit on the step and I had to cut the tiles at the edges with a grinder. The steps turned out to be 16 centimeters high, and the risers were 20 centimeters, so the tiles also had to be cut to size.

The tile had dimensions of 400x300x35 millimeters, but later, during installation, it was discovered that its thickness on one edge was normal, and on the other it was already 30 or 25 millimeters. We also had to take this nuance into account.

I glued the tiles from the bottom up, installing the risers first. When laying the tiles I used an 11 mm notched trowel. The glue was applied both to the steps themselves and to the tiles. The top of the porch itself was laid with porcelain stoneware using the same glue.

The top of the porch has a slight slope from the center towards the steps. The steps themselves are made with a slight outward slope so that water does not accumulate at the junction with the riser.

The grout for the tiles was elastic, frost-resistant and water-repellent. It was rubbed down with a rubber spatula, and since the tiles were on front side had small corrugations, I was tired of scrubbing it off the grout.

Laying paving stones near the porch of a house

Before laying the paving stones, the old one was removed paving slabs, and everything was cleared down to the concrete base. A slab was poured onto this base, onto which paving stones were subsequently glued. The seams in the paving stones spilled out with a cement-sand mixture and were spilled with water.

The following tool was used to repair the steps of the porch of the house

• “baby” hammer drill with chisel and scraper;
• grinder, discs for it on stone and metal;
• crowbar, sledgehammer, hammer, rubber mallet;
• electric jigsaw, hand saw;
• level, tape measure;
• concrete mixer 140 liters;
• drill with mixer;
• spatulas - 11 mm toothed and rubber.

Materials

• reinforcement 8 millimeters; board 50*200 mm;
• one hundred and fifty inch;
• mixture M-300, cement, fine gravel;
• tile adhesive and tile grout;
• paving stones;
• directly the tile and risers to it.
