Structural Repair Specialists
Commercial Structural Repair Experts
As commercial structural repair specialists, we’ve been helping commercial clients with projects across Leeds and Yorkshire for around 3 decades. Bulging retaining walls, cracked floor slabs and slipped arches in stone or brick are a common sight for us. These feature in some of our case studies which you may want to view as an example of our proficiency. Our parent company is Brick-Tie Limited, so of course we are wearing a 30 year old t-shirt when it comes to structural work and wall ties.
These are our Commercial pages – if you are a residential or domestic client – please visit our homeowners structural repair section.
Trusted and Compliant
We’ve worked under the supervision of some of the North’s most demanding and respected main contractors including ISG, Sewell Construction, Strategic Group and Linden Construction. They have high expectations and strict health and safety protocols – that suits us fine because we do too.
In addition we are used and trusted by several of Yorkshire’s local authorities and Housing Associations.
We’ve worked for The National Trust and The Church’s Conservation Trust too.
These organisations need reliable and safe structural repair specialists for cracked walls, bulging masonry and wall ties, who can deliver on promises made; That’s us.
Our teams of well trained, asbestos aware, CSCS card holding, safety conscious staff, have worked in Schools, Hospitals, Offices, care homes, sheltered accommodation and retail premises. These projects span the region; from Leeds to Scarborough and Sheffield to Ripon.
Commercial structural repair work is little different to our domestic and residential trade work; quality of plastering, masonry repairs, crack stitching, making good and structural works is still high.
However it is more demanding, as the environment is often fast-paced and there are deadlines to meet. The scale is usually much bigger too, but even the smallest commercial jobs can be challenging.

Survey Services for Commercial Structural Repairs
As recognised structural repair specialists we are asked to assist structural engineers with practical and cost effective solutions to structural problems. Sometimes we are directed by them and merely ‘fine tune’ specifications, based on our expert experience and up to date knowledge. Our surveyors know the practical limitations and the advantages of a wide array of masonry repair methods. This skill comes with years of practiced application of Helifix and Cintec anchor works, as well as the associated masonry repairs. The technicians too, are well versed and practiced, so that together we can bring real value and insight to any structural repair project.
Once asked to site we can quickly asses the situation. We’ll try to value engineer the work on your behalf if we can. Saving clients time and money builds on the goodwill we’ve already acquired over the years. It’s why so many professional clients turn to us again and again. We understand the value of this – it’s just one of our incentives to work well for you.
Which Cracks Need Stitching?
Which cracks can be stitched? How many remedial ties will be needed and what type? Can the wall tie density be reduced, based on proof testing our anchors? Is there a better way we can approach a particular repair and still meet or exceed the required performance? Is there a way the work can be done safer?
These are questions we ask ourselves daily. Often the positive answer is given to clients, even when they didn’t think of the question beforehand – that is what clients pay a good structural repair specialist for. It’s our job.
Our structural repair specialists are trained by us, with help from our valued suppliers; Helifix; Cintec, The Property Care Association, Fosroc and Safeguard – we keep our CPD bang up to date.
In fact we also help keep fellow professionals on the ball too, with our regular CPD events and presentations for Architects, Engineers and surveying practices.
Many of Yorkshire’s best known and professional structural and civil engineering practices turn to us for this type of work – why not join them?
If you have a project coming up, which may involve specialist structural repairs of the types listed above, please bear us in mind. We’re genuinely positive thinkers and we’re here to help.
