Structural Repairs are experts Carbon Fibre Reinforcement in Folkestone & Kent — engineered solutions for lasting structural stability.

Understanding CFRP

Carbon Fibre Reinforcement (CFRP) involves applying high-strength, lightweight carbon fibre strips to structural surfaces using high-performance resins.

This method increases the structure’s load-bearing capacity and controls further deterioration.

  • High strength-to-weight ratio
  • Resistant to rust, moisture and chemicals
  • Suitable for retrofitting concrete, steel and masonry
  • Minimal downtime
  • Designed in line with structural standards and building regulations

It’s an state-of-the-art method of strengthening that provides a permanent solution — not a temporary fix.

Common Structural Issues Solved by CFRP

Carbon fibre reinforcement addresses a variety of structural concerns, such as:

By applying CFRP in the right locations, we can:

  • Restore lost strength
  • Control cracking and deflection
  • Increase stiffness and ductility
  • Extend structural lifespan
  • Deliver results that are stronger, safer, and longer-lasting than before.

Delaying reinforcement or ignoring early signs of distress can lead to:

How We Strengthen Structures

Our approach follows a precision-controlled process:

1. Structural Survey & Analysis

  • Visual inspection
  • Concrete scanning
  • Compressive strength tests

2. Design & Specification

  • Select CFRP type
  • Calculate strength gains and anchorage lengths
  • Comply with BS and Eurocode standards

3. Preparation & Substrate Treatment

  • Remove dust and laitance
  • Apply bonding primer
  • Ensure proper environmental controls

4. Application & Bonding

  • Ensure full wet-out and adhesion
  • Control fibre orientation
  • Add anchor or end plates if required

5. Curing & Quality Control

  • Monitor curing process
  • Perform final load review

6. Finishing & Follow-Up

  • Surface protection systems
  • Long-term monitoring

Advantages of Our System

  • Superior strength-to-weight performance
  • No heavy machinery or demolition
  • Fast installation
  • Maintenance-free
  • Improves load capacity
  • Compatible with other repair systems
  • Discreet and aesthetic
  • Low waste

Every CFRP upgrade we complete is designed to make the structure stronger, safer and better than new.
