How Crack Stitching Works

Crack stitching is a engineered repair method used to stabilise cracked masonry walls by installing helical ties across existing cracks, binding the wall back together. Treat masonry cracks with Crack stitching in Folkestone

The process generally includes:

  • Sawing shallow chases into mortar joints on either side of the crack
  • Cleaning the slots to remove loose material and dust
  • Placing a high-strength bonding agent
  • Laying structural bars into the grout
  • Finishing to match the surrounding brickwork

Essentially, the wall is “stitched” back together, preventing further movement and restoring full structural performance.

When To Consider Crack Stitching

Crack stitching is ideal where walls show:

  • Horizontal or vertical fissures
  • Cracking at corners or openings
  • Recurring cracks despite patch repairs
  • Foundation movement
  • Water ingress or damp penetration

Common causes include load vibration. Crack stitching addresses these issues by re-establishing tensile strength across the masonry.

The Smart Repair Choice

Crack stitching offers many benefits compared to demolition or simple cosmetic repairs to treat masonry cracks:

  • No need for full rebuild — little dust or noise
  • Discreet repair — repairs blend into the existing wall
  • Localised — only cracked areas treated, not entire walls
  • Cost-effective — less labour, less waste, smaller footprint
  • Strong yet accommodating — allows minor thermal movement
  • Safe for listed buildings

Our systems often leave the structure as strong — or stronger — than it was when built.
