Signs you might need crack repairs across Hampshire
- Step cracking (a staircase pattern) in brickwork
- Horizontal cracks along mortar lines, a possible sign of wall tie failure
- Vertical or diagonal cracks linked to settlement, particularly after an extension
- Cracking around windows or doors, often caused by a failing lintel
- Cracks at internal corners, where standard stitching isn't always practical
- A bulging or bowing wall, where the masonry is visibly moving outward
We cover the whole of Hampshire, including towns without their own dedicated page on this site — Winchester, Lymington, and Petersfield among them. If you're outside our 5 core cities, the same honest survey and the same range of repairs still apply.
Hampshire · recent project
Thermalite block garage wall
What we found: A property around 20 years old had developed cracking in the Thermalite blockwork of the garage wall — cracks of roughly 3–5mm.
What's causing it: Thermalite block responds to moisture and temperature changes over time, and after two decades, this kind of movement-related cracking is a fairly typical pattern, particularly where the original build had limited reinforcement.
What we did: Around 20 helical crack stitching bars, each 1 metre in length, were installed and bonded with resin across the affected blockwork, restoring the structural bond. Completed in a single day.
Why cracking happens across Hampshire
Across the county, cracking is most often down to settlement or thermal movement, particularly in older properties without modern expansion joints. Property alterations and extensions are another common cause, since the structure has to adjust to a new layout. Subsidence is less common but more serious, usually linked to unstable soil or inadequate foundations rather than the building itself.
We tailor the repair to the cause: crack stitching for most masonry cracking, masonry beaming for larger sections affected by historic subsidence, cem ties at corners where standard stitching isn't practical, and wall tie replacement via our sister company where corrosion is the real driver.
Crack stitching cost in Hampshire
Across the county, crack stitching is generally priced per bar, somewhere around £60–£120 each, with the final figure shaped by the specific job. Here's what actually moves the number:
- Extent of cracking — longer or multiple cracks need more stitching points, or closer bar spacing for severe cases
- Cause of movement — subsidence or wall tie failure may need additional investigation or stabilisation first
- Access — ground-level and mobile-tower access keeps costs down; scaffolding for upper floors adds cost
- Additional repairs — repointing or brick replacement alongside stitching, where the masonry's been damaged
A site survey is the only reliable way to get an accurate number for your property, and ours are free across Hampshire.
Common questions
Do you cover towns outside the 5 main cities?
Yes. We cover the whole of Hampshire, including Winchester, Lymington, Petersfield, and other towns without a dedicated page on this site. The same free survey and full range of repairs apply wherever you are in the county.
How much does crack stitching cost in Hampshire?
Each bar is generally priced between £60 and £120, with the total depending on access, how severe the crack is, and the type of property. A survey gives you the real number.
What's the most common cause of cracking in Hampshire properties?
Settlement or thermal movement, particularly in older properties without modern expansion joints. Property alterations and extensions are another common cause, as the structure adjusts to a new layout and load distribution.
