Structural Repairs are experts Carbon Fibre Reinforcement in Portsmouth & Hampshire — durable solutions for lasting structural stability.

Understanding CFRP

Carbon Fibre Reinforcement (CFRP) involves laminating high-strength, lightweight carbon fibre plates to structural surfaces using epoxy resins.

This method enhances the structure’s load-bearing capacity and resists further deterioration.

  • Stronger than steel but far lighter
  • Non-corrosive and durable
  • Ideal for retrofitting concrete, steel and masonry
  • Fast installation with minimal mess
  • Compliant with structural standards and building regulations

It’s an advanced method of strengthening that provides a permanent solution — not a temporary fix.

Typical Problems We Fix

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

By applying CFRP in the right locations, we can:

  • Restore lost strength
  • Prevent 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:

Our Proven Approach

Our approach follows a tried-and-tested process:

1. Structural Survey & Analysis

  • Visual inspection

  • Specify adhesives, primers and finishes

3. Preparation & Substrate Treatment

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

4. Application & Bonding

  • Apply resin adhesive
  • Use rollers or presses for perfect contact
  • Ensure uniform load transfer

5. Curing & Quality Control

  • Verify bond strength
  • Perform final load review

6. Finishing & Follow-Up

  • Optional coatings or paint
  • Maintenance advice
