Brick Stitching Repairs in the North East
Restore Structural Integrity with Expert Brick Stitching Solutions
Cracks in brickwork can compromise both the structural stability and appearance of your property. At Northern Remedials, we specialise in brick stitching – a proven method for repairing and reinforcing cracked masonry, helping to ensure the long-term safety and durability of your building.
What Is Brick Stitching?
Brick stitching (also known as crack stitching) involves the insertion of stainless steel helical bars into mortar joints across visible cracks in brick or blockwork. This technique effectively redistributes structural loads and stabilises the wall to prevent further movement or damage.
Common Causes of Cracks in Brickwork
Natural settlement of the building
Expansion and contraction due to temperature changes
Water ingress and freeze-thaw action
Structural changes or vibrations from nearby construction
Corroded or failed wall ties
Understanding the underlying cause is key to ensuring an effective and lasting repair.
