Our process

How we approach the job

01

Diagnosis

We assess whether the crack is historic, settling or active — sometimes recommending a structural engineer first.

02

Stitch & reinforce

Helical stainless steel bars set into raked-out joints across the crack to lock the wall together.

03

Cut out & rebuild

Where bricks are split, they're carefully replaced and the area repointed.

04

Blend & finish

Repairs blended invisibly into the surrounding mortar.
