Our process
How we approach the job
Diagnosis
We assess whether the crack is historic, settling or active — sometimes recommending a structural engineer first.
Stitch & reinforce
Helical stainless steel bars set into raked-out joints across the crack to lock the wall together.
Cut out & rebuild
Where bricks are split, they're carefully replaced and the area repointed.
Blend & finish
Repairs blended invisibly into the surrounding mortar.
