Signs that your building needs structural repairs

Structural damage can be serious for listed buildings if not treated immediately. There are a few ways you can tell if your building requires structural masonry repairs. These include:

  • Damp penetration
  • Ground movement
  • Cracks in the walls
  • Poorly functioning doors and windows
  • Uneven floors
  • Gaps between walls
  • Crumbling brickwork

If your building is experiencing any of these issues or anything else that is showing signs of structural damage, contact us today.

Our Structural Repair Services:

Our skilled team offers a wide range of structural repair services tailored to your specific needs…

Foundation Repair

Foundation Repair

Signs that your building or structure may need financial repair include cracked walls, warped floors and ceilings, and gaps between exterior windows and walls. Our structural repair contractors are also equipped to repair your foundations to restore stability.

Cracked Walls and Lintels

Cracked Walls and Lintels

When lintels fail, they may cause vertical cracks to appear around the masonry. If the lintel becomes compromised due to factors like age, wear and tear, or improper installation, it can begin to sag or even collapse entirely. We adopt specialist techniques to settle any cracked walls and lintels.

Water Damage Repair

Water Damage Repair

There are many reasons why water may infiltrate into a building or structure, from faulty gutters to rising damp. Whatever the reason, our skilled team will identify the source of the water intrusion and repair any structural damage.

Beam and Column Repair

Beam and Column Repair

Our builders will use the finest materials to restore the integrity and strength of beams and columns. We understand the importance beams and columns play, so we take great care in selecting the highest-quality lumber, steel, or other components to replace any weakened or damaged elements.

Stone Replacement and Repointing

Stone Replacement and Repointing

As well as structural repairs, we specialise in replacing any damaged stonework with high-quality materials. From advanced cleaning methods to conducting thorough assessments, we do everything we can to implement effective stone replacement and repointing.

Bowed Walls

Bowed Walls

Bowed walls can be caused by external forces or load-bearing factors. We use robust steel beams and braces to reinforce the structure of your walls for maximum integrity. By strategically placing these heavy-duty support structures, we're able to redistribute the weight and pressure being exerted on the walls.
