Wall Removal in Oldham
Open up kitchens, dining rooms and living spaces safely, with the wall's load carried by a correctly designed steel beam.
Structural brickwork in Oldham — facade rebuilds, shop fronts, wall tie replacement, subsidence repairs and repointing, matched to the original wall.
Oldham's hillside stone terraces and the desirable Saddleworth villages — Uppermill, Delph and Dobcross — bring a mix of solid-stone knock-throughs and larger openings in the period homes above the valley.
Steel and brick go together: nearly every beam we install ends with brickwork built back around it. We carry out the structural brickwork on our own jobs and as a service in its own right — rebuilding brick facades and elevations, altering and rebuilding shop fronts, replacing failed cavity wall ties, repairing brick and blockwork after subsidence, repointing, and putting cracked or bulging masonry right.

Yes — Oldham and the surrounding area are part of our regular patch. Oldham falls under Oldham Council building control, or a registered approver.
Yes. We form and widen shopfront openings, install the new steels over, and rebuild the brickwork and facade above — coordinated with the landlord and building control, and out of hours where the shop needs to keep trading.
Horizontal cracking along the mortar joints at regular intervals — typically every five or six courses — and bulging outer walls are the classic signs. A tie survey confirms it, and replacement stainless ties are a routine, permanent repair.
Yes. Once the movement is stabilised (underpinning or drainage repairs, agreed with your insurer's engineer), we rebuild the damaged brick and blockwork, stitch stable cracks and repoint — matched to the original wall.
Sometimes. Stepped cracks following the mortar joints can point to movement or a failed lintel. Narrow, stable cracks are often stitched with helical bars; wide or growing cracks get an engineer's opinion first. Send photos and we will tell you honestly which it is.
Nearly always. We source reclaimed bricks or close modern matches, and match the mortar colour and joint style, so the repair disappears into the wall.
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.
