Services
Pointing and Repointing
Our pointing and repointing services restore the integrity of brickwork by replacing damaged mortar, preventing water ingress and structural decay. Using traditional lime mortar where appropriate, we ensure compatibility with historic materials while enhancing durability. Ideal for residential and commercial properties facing weather-related wear, this service prolongs the lifespan of walls and improves aesthetic appeal through meticulous craftsmanship.
Wall Tie Replacements
We specialise in remedial wall tie replacements to address corrosion and structural instability in cavity walls. As approved installers of Thor Helical systems, we provide durable, code-compliant solutions with a 25-year warranty. This service prevents cracking and distortion, ensuring long-term safety and compliance for properties showing signs of tie failure, such as horizontal cracks or bulging walls.
Lintel Replacements
Our lintel replacement service addresses rusted or failed steel lintels that cause cracks above windows and doors. Using high-strength materials, we install new lintels to restore structural integrity and prevent further damage. This critical repair safeguards against brickwork displacement and ensures compliance with building standards, particularly for properties showing stepped vertical cracks or window frame distortion.
Structural Repairs
We undertake comprehensive structural repairs, including crack stitching with helical bars and masonry restoration, to stabilise weakened buildings. Our approach combines traditional methods with modern engineering to address issues like subsidence or water damage. Tailored solutions ensure safety and longevity for both historic and modern structures requiring intervention due to environmental stressors.
Damp Solutions
Our damp solutions include cavity clearance, repointing, and masonry sealants to combat moisture penetration. By addressing root causes like blocked cavities or corroded ties, we eliminate internal dampness and prevent mould growth. This service integrates protective coatings and drainage improvements to create a lasting barrier against wind-driven rain and rising damp in vulnerable structures.
