"Structural repairs" covers a lot of ground — cracking, movement, deteriorating concrete, failing lintels, wall tie failure. Rather than try to explain everything in one place, we've split our detailed advice across dedicated pages for each specific problem, so you get the depth that's actually relevant to you instead of a generic overview.
Not sure which one applies? Here's a quick way to work it out.
Cracking in walls, ceilings, or floors
Step cracking, horizontal cracks, bulging or bowing masonry — crack stitching, masonry beaming, cem ties, and lateral restraints.
Crack Repairs →Spalling, cracking, or rusting concrete
Concrete cancer, corroded rebar, and deteriorating concrete columns, beams, or lintels.
Concrete Repairs →Cracking, sagging, or sticking above an opening
Failing concrete, steel, or boot lintels, slipped brick arches, rotten timber lintels, or a door or window that's started sticking.
Lintel Replacement & Repair →Horizontal cracking or bulging cavity walls
Often a sign of wall tie failure — the specialism of our sister company, 1st Master Wall Ties.
Wall Tie Replacement →Still not sure?
That's exactly what a free survey is for. Structural issues often have more than one cause, and the visible symptom doesn't always point to the obvious answer — a crack above a window might be a lintel problem, or it might be wall tie failure, or settlement. Sagging floors, doors or windows that have started sticking, or gaps opening up between walls and ceilings are all common early signs too, even before any cracking is visible. We diagnose the actual cause on-site, then tell you honestly which of the above applies, with no pressure to book the bigger job if a smaller one will do.
