With over 35 years of industry expertise, we deliver “new or better” outcomes — safely and without demolition.
Crack Stitching Explained
Crack stitching is a targeted repair method used to stabilise cracked masonry walls by embedding reinforcement bars across existing cracks, binding the wall back together. Treat masonry cracks with Crack stitching in London
The process generally includes:
- Forming shallow chases into mortar joints on either side of the crack
- Cleaning the slots to remove loose material and dust
- Injecting a high-strength epoxy mortar
- Laying helical bars into the grout
- Sealing to match the surrounding brickwork
Essentially, the wall is “stitched” back together, preventing further movement and restoring full structural performance.
Typical Situations Requiring Crack Stitching
Crack stitching is ideal where walls show:
- Movement cracks in masonry
- Cracking at corners or openings
- Long-term movement
- Cracks from settlement or thermal expansion
- Corrosion-related cracking
Common causes include temperature cycles. Crack stitching resolves these issues by re-establishing tensile strength across the masonry.
Risks of Ignoring Cracks
Failing to treat masonry cracks can cause serious consequences:
- Loss of load capacity
- Moisture-related decay
- Concrete or brick spalling
- Falling masonry
- Energy loss
- Insurance complications
Crack stitching allows cost-effective repair — restoring the wall to a new or stronger-than-original condition. The best solution to treat masonry cracks
Benefits Over Rebuilding
Crack stitching offers many benefits compared to demolition or simple cosmetic repairs to treat masonry cracks:
- Quick installation — no major downtime
- Discreet repair — repairs blend into the existing wall
- Precision-targeted — only cracked areas treated, not entire walls
- Affordable — less labour, less waste, smaller footprint
- Long-term and resilient — allows minor thermal movement
- Compatible with old and new structures
Our systems often leave the structure as strong — or stronger — than it was when built.
