Sock Anchors
— A Structural Service
For Reliable Structural Repair and Stabilisation
The Helifix SockFix Anchor is a high-performance, remedial anchoring system designed to stabilise and repair masonry structures suffering from movement, cracking or delamination.
It is particularly effective in situations where traditional mechanical fixings are unsuitable, such as securing loose masonry, reconnecting separated walls or strengthening fragile structures, including heritage and listed buildings.

— From Survey to Completion
Our Helifix SockFix Anchor Process
1. Drilling and Preparation
A hole is drilled into the masonry or substrate at the required depth and diameter. Any loose material is removed to ensure a clean installation site.
2. Insertion of the SockFix Anchor
The flexible SockFix anchor, which consists of a stainless steel reinforcing rod enclosed in a fabric sock, is inserted into the drilled hole.
3. Injection of Grout
A specialist cementitious grout is injected into the fabric sock, which expands and moulds tightly against the surrounding masonry. This process fills voids, bonds the anchor to the structure and provides a strong mechanical and chemical key within the substrate.
4. Curing and Stabilisation
As the grout cures, it creates a secure and load-bearing connection, effectively anchoring and reinforcing the structure.
5. Finishing and Restoration
Once fully set, the surface is repaired and finished matching the surrounding masonry, ensuring a seamless and aesthetically pleasing result.
