Cracked walls in Scarborough
Older blocks close to the beach take the full force of salt-laden wind, so wall tie and lintel corrosion is common. Horizontal cracking every few courses, bulging brickwork and rust-stained mortar are the signs to look for. We regularly work with strata managers on apartment repairs.

How we repair it
Every job starts with a free site visit. We find the cause of the movement, then give you a written specification and quote. Most cracks are repaired with Helifix crack stitching: stainless steel HeliBars bonded into the mortar joints, then repointed or rendered to match. Where needed we also replace lintels or wall ties, or underpin the footing. As a Helifix Approved Installer, we offer a 10-year indemnified guarantee on most Helifix repairs (T&Cs apply).
