Helifix Crack Repairs
— A Structural Service
Our Reliable Helifix Crack Stitching Repairs
Cracks in masonry walls can develop due to a number of factors. They can range from thermal movement, foundation settlement or environmental factors. Left untreated, these cracks can weaken the integrity of the building, allowing moisture ingress and further deterioration.
As an approved Helifix installer, we use industry-leading Helifix crack stitching systems, ensuring high-quality workmanship and compliance with Helifix specifications.

— From Survey to Completion
The Helifix Crack Stitching Process
1. Survey and Diagnosis
A thorough site inspection is conducted to assess the severity of the cracks and identify the underlying structural issues. A tailored repair plan is then created based on the findings.
2. Preparation and Cutting
Horizontal slots are cut into the mortar joints of the affected masonry, following precise spacing requirements to ensure optimal reinforcement.
3. Helifix Stainless Steel Bar Installation
Helifix HeliBars, high-tensile stainless steel helical bars, are inserted into the pre-cut slots. A specially formulated Helibond grout is applied to bond the bars securely to the masonry, ensuring a strong and flexible repair.
4. Repointing and Finishing
Once the grout has cured, the slots are repointed with a matching mortar, restoring the appearance of the wall.
5. Final Inspection and Warranty Issuance
A final assessment is carried out to ensure the repair meets structural requirements. The Helifix Structural Warranty is issued, guaranteeing the quality and longevity of the repair.
