Expert brick stitching across London
Brick stitching is a proven, engineer-recognised way to repair and strengthen cracked, bowing and separating brickwork without taking the wall down. We bed stainless steel helical bars into the mortar joints across the crack, tying the brickwork back together and spreading load so the wall is structurally sound again. It suits cracked elevations, bulging and bowing walls, movement around openings, and tying bay fronts and return walls back to the main structure.
Once the bars are in and the joints are pointed to match, the repair is all but invisible. Where cracking points to a deeper cause, we investigate first and work alongside a structural engineer.

Our Brick Stitching Process
Investigate the cause
We establish why the wall has cracked or moved before we repair it.
Cut the beds
Slots are cut into the mortar joints across the crack or where restraint is needed.
Bed the bars
Stainless helical bars are bedded in resin or grout to tie the brickwork together.
Point to match
Joints are pointed to match so the repair is all but invisible.
