What is structural anchoring?

Structural anchoring can include lots of different processes and procedures to help restore integrity to a structure. Structural anchoring is often recommended as an alternative to cavity wall tie repair, particularly when dealing with weak substrates. The process will typically involve drilling into a wall and then inserting an expanding support anchor that will provide rigid support.

This method is recommended for lots of different types of masonry, including solid, cavity, hollow pot and rubble filled. It may be used alongside crack stitching to help restore a wall and prevent it from collapsing. There are many different types of structural anchoring applications available and we will employ the one best suited to the situation.

What type of repairs do we offer?

Structural problems in London are varied and all-too-common. This commonly includes issues related to dampness, including rising damp. We can also assist with repairs to stone and concrete structures. Here are just some of the repairs we can assist with:

Crack stitching

Cracks in your walls can be caused by a number of issues. We can help get to the bottom of the issue and rectify the problem at the source. Cracks may be the result of failed cavity wall ties or subsidence.

Structural anchoring

Structural anchoring allows us to take control of structural problems with any property. This can help to limit the potential for further failure and prevent collapse of walls or complete structures. We offer different types of anchoring as required.

Lintel repairs

Period properties are particularly at risk of lintel failure. Vertical, stepped cracks in your lintel and surrounding masonry can be a clear sign that your lintel has failed. This needs to be addressed as a matter of urgency.

Dry rot treatment

If you live in a timber structure home and your home has been subject to dry rot, there is a risk of structural damage to the frame. We can help eliminate dry rot and then restore timber structures to protect your property from collapse. 

Waterproofing

Structural issues can also arise from poor waterproofing measures. If the waterproofing measures in your home are insufficient or they have failed, we can help restore these to prevent damage to your property as a result of water ingress.
