How Crack Stitching Works

Crack stitching is a targeted repair method used to strengthen cracked masonry walls by embedding helical ties across existing cracks, binding the wall back together. Treat masonry cracks with Crack stitching in Liverpool

The process generally includes:

  • Sawing shallow chases into mortar joints on either side of the crack
  • Vacuuming the slots to remove loose material and dust
  • Placing a high-strength epoxy mortar
  • Embedding helical 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:

  • Movement cracks in masonry
  • Cracking at corners or openings
  • Progressively widening cracks
  • Cracks from settlement or thermal expansion
  • Corrosion-related cracking

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

Benefits Over Rebuilding

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

  • Minimal disruption — fast completion
  • Discreet repair — repairs blend into the existing wall
  • Engineered — only cracked areas treated, not entire walls
  • Lower-cost — less labour, less waste, smaller footprint
  • Strong yet accommodating — allows minor thermal movement
  • Ideal for heritage sites

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