HOW DOES CRACK STITCHING WORK?
This process involves sticking walls back together using a fluid concrete and metal bars. The cured bond ensures the wall is as strong and stable as possible. This method works for both horizontal and vertical cracks of varying sizes and depths, as well as stepped cracking.
The technique ensures minimal disruption to the wall, and is a fast and effective way of repairing a cracked structure.
OUR PROCESS
• Two deep chases are made in the mortar
• The chases are cleaned out, and grout is injected
• Metal bars are cut to size and inserted into the join
• A second bead of grout is added to seal in the bars
• Once cured, the beading is covered with mortar so that the repair blends in with surrounding brickwork
