Structural Repairs & Wall Stabilisation

Structural issues such as bulging, bowing, cracking walls or compromised load-bearing timbers must be addressed immediately to prevent potential collapse and ensure safety.

 

At PRESERVA, we use modern wall stabilisation and structural repair techniques that are far less invasive than traditional methods like timber replacement or full wall reconstruction, allowing us to repair and strengthen your property efficiently, with minimal mess and downtime.

Contact our team to learn more or book a no-obligation structural survey today.

Wall Tie Replacement

Wall ties are a critical component of cavity wall construction, connecting the outer brickwork to the inner masonry and providing structural stability. When wall ties fail, the walls can move independently, putting the property at risk. Common signs of failing ties include cracks, bulging brickwork, sagging lintels, and separation around window reveals.

 

At PRESERVA, our expert surveyors use specialist tools such as metal detectors and borescopes to thoroughly inspect your walls. We then replace failing wall ties efficiently, ensuring your property remains safe and structurally sound while minimising disruption.

Crack Stitching

Masonry cracks can occur due to thermal expansion, freeze/thaw cycles, or ground vibrations. Left untreated, these cracks can compromise structural stability.

 

At PRESERVA, we use crack stitching to stabilise vertical cracks quickly and effectively. This involves removing mortar from the horizontal joint, inserting a stainless steel rod secured with specialist resin, and repointing the joint to blend the repair seamlessly with the original wall.

This method restores the strength of the wall while maintaining its original appearance, providing a durable and minimally disruptive solution.

Structural Timber Repair

When large structural timbers are weakened by fungal decay or other issues, replacing them can be costly and highly disruptive.

 

At PRESERVA, we offer specialist solutions such as steel plate bolt-ons, resin repairs, and splice repairs. These techniques provide a cost-effective, minimally invasive alternative to full timber replacement, restoring structural integrity and stability while reducing inconvenience and expense.
