Resolving structural issues promptly will save money in the long run. It is more expensive, and in the case of listed or conservation area properties, much more paperwork to rebuild failed masonry than to repair it. Our specialist structural repair techniques use hidden fixings that preserve your property’s period features.
Heritage Building Structural Repairs
Traditional builders will often repoint brickwork and fill cracks without solving the underlying structural problems. Our specialist tools and techniques allow us to restore structural integrity to your property without rebuilding by installing stainless steel fixings within the masonry. We also carefully match any replacement bricks, stonework repairs and mortar to blend with the existing masonry.
This Edwardian portico with stucco columns required the superstructure to be reconnected, the masonry to be restrained and the structural integrity to be restored. The work included precision diamond drilling into the edge of the rounded columns to allow the injection of grouted ties, reconnecting the columns and walls
Failing Edwardian Stucco Columns, Before & After Structural Repairs
This 18th-century former water tower had large areas of dangerous, severely cracked brick and stonework. AWT were able to remove the rusting fixings that were causing the issue, reinforce and repair the brickwork, all without visible fixings.
