Structural brickwork & repairs in Altrincham

Yes — Altrincham and the surrounding area are part of our regular patch. Altrincham, Hale and Bowdon fall under Trafford Council building control, or a registered building control approver of your choice.

Stainless steel helical bars resin-bonded into slots cut along the mortar beds, tying the cracked section back together. It is quick, strong and invisible once repointed — the standard repair for stable cracks.

Yes — leaning or collapsed garden walls, gate pillars and boundary walls are taken down and rebuilt, reusing the original bricks where they are sound.
