Structural brickwork & repairs in Wigan

Yes — Wigan and the surrounding area are part of our regular patch. Wigan falls under Wigan 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.
