Our Process
We keep our process straightforward, so you get a strong repair and a clean finish in no time.
- Wall Assessment: We inspect the cracks, checking for causes such as soil movement or lintel failure, and map out the repair plan.
- Chase Cutting: Narrow slots are cut along selected bed joints to cross the crack line and spread the load.
- Bar Installations: We insert stainless steel helical bars and bond them with a high-performance structural resin.
- Repointing and Colour Match: Joints are repointed and colour matched so the repair blends in.
- Sign-off: We tidy the area and provide photos or notes for your records. If an engineer is required, we coordinate the sign-off.
Why Choose Our Brick Stitching Services
- Long‑term Materials: We utilise stainless steel bars with high‑performance resin for corrosion resistance in Perth conditions, including coastal areas.
- Discreet Finish: Repairs sit within the mortar joints. We repoint and colour match, so the work blends in with the existing brickwork.
- Less Disruption and Lower Cost: Repairs are focused on the cracked area, not a full rebuild. Many residential jobs can be completed in a single day, depending on access and scope.
- Engineer Friendly: We can work to an engineer’s details where required and provide photos and notes for records, insurance or certification.
- Cause‑led Approach: We look at why the crack formed, such as soil movement or lintel issues, and can recommend movement joints, drainage changes or other measures if needed.
- Consistent Quality: Trained installers, careful prep and measured resin quantities help ensure a strong, reliable repair every time.

FAQ
What is brick stitching?
It is a way of repairing cracked masonry by cutting thin slots in the mortar joints, inserting stainless steel bars and bonding them with resin so the wall works as one again.
How long does it take?
Most small repairs take about a day. Larger cracks or multiple sections can take longer. We confirm the timing after inspection.
Will the repair be visible?
The bars sit in the mortar joint. Once repointed and colour matched, most repairs blend in with the existing wall.
Is brick stitching permanent?
Yes. Brick stitching provides a durable and long-lasting repair. With stainless steel bars and resin, cracks are reinforced for decades. However, if underlying soil or structural issues persist, further measures such as underpinning may be required.
Will stitching stop new cracks elsewhere?
Stitching is designed to stabilise the cracked area. If movement continues due to soil, moisture or structural issues, further work may be recommended. We will advise on options during the assessment.
Is this suitable for heritage buildings?
Yes. Stitching is discreet and reversible, which makes it well suited to heritage brickwork.
How much does it cost?
Pricing depends on crack length, access and finish. We provide a clear quote after an on-site assessment.
