Cracked walls in Victoria Park
At this age, original wall ties and steel lintels are often well past their best. Lime mortars have gone soft, and big street trees can dry out the ground near the footings. We see a lot of wall tie replacement, lintels, repointing and crack stitching in the area.

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).
