What The Repointing People Offer
Remedial Wall Ties
Historically, wall ties were made from mild steel that had a galvanised layer or were painted. These coatings don’t last, leaving the steel exposed and allowing it to corrode - lifting the brickwork. These wall ties could corrode within 20 years of construction.
​
We locate and isolate the original ties, preventing further lifting. Then install stainless steel DriveFix wall ties as appropriate.
Repointing
A mechanised repointing system with proven advantages over the hand repointing method. Designed to meet British Standard Codes of Practice and to utilise British Standard mortar mix designs.
Should a client require; we can repoint using most of the growing number of ready mix mortars - subject to director approval.
Crack Stitching
In basic terms crack stitching is the masonry repair method for repairing cracked walls and ensuring that they are reinforced -helping to prevent further cracking.
It involves retrofitting a number of stainless steel crack stitching bars, during the raking phase of repointing; which are grouted across cracks in walls (around 10mm deeper than the rake depth) in order to reconnect them and provide stability to the masonry.
