Commercial Structural Repairs For Professional Clients

BT Preservation works with main contractors, structural engineers, surveyors, architects, facilities managers, local authorities, housing associations and commercial property owners. We provide practical structural repair support where buildings show signs of cracking, movement, wall tie failure, masonry defects or structural instability.

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 structural repair specialists who can work safely on cracked walls, bulging masonry and wall tie repairs, while delivering on the promises made. That is what we do.

Our well-trained, asbestos-aware, CSCS card-holding teams 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 requires the same attention to detail as domestic and residential projects. The quality of plastering, masonry repairs, crack stitching, making good and structural work must remain 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.

Our Accreditations

Credibility and Accountability

Credibility and accountability matter a great deal when there is a big project to complete. There may be other contractors working side by side and often dependent on each other. We love this environment and it’s always good to work with like-minded professional builders, architects and engineers.

Responsive, reliable structural repair specialists

When buildings and structures are on the move, cracking happens. Clients require a fast response and a professional approach. This is why many structural engineers and building surveyors across Yorkshire and the North use our services.

A deep understanding of the practical application of remedial structural repair systems is essential. We have the skill levels that professional clients need.

Cintec sock anchors offer unrivaled performance and flexibility in stone and rubble fill structures. You’ll find our Cintec anchors in diverse structures such as the historic walls around York, Armley Jail in Leeds, and numerous bridges and retaining walls across Yorkshire.

Helifix Approved Specialists

Our Helifix-approved engineers can help design remedial structural repairs in a cost-effective, efficient and safe way.

All of the ancillary works, such as plastering, stone/brick repairs and any associated building work, can be accommodated.

In fact, some of Yorkshire’s best known building contractors and facilities managers turn to us when in need of structural repairs, from crack-stitching to lateral restraint work.

Sometimes the work is part of enabling during refurbishment. On other occasions we are reactive, when work on a site reveals unexpected cracks or movement – party wall issues often bring us to the rescue.

Our specialist structural repair work includes:

Expansion joint installations
Repairs to bulging and fractured walls in stone and brick
Crack stitching and crack bonding in walls and floors
Grouting rubble walls for stabilisation (lime and roman cement)
Resin injection for crack sealing and bonding
Concrete repairs to soffits and beams
Wall stabilisation and wall tie installation
Lateral restraint using tie bars and stitching ties
In-situ repairs to stone lintels and displaced quoins and key stones

Survey Services for Commercial Structural Repairs

As recognised structural repair specialists, we are often asked to assist structural engineers with practical, cost-effective solutions to structural problems. Sometimes we work to their specifications and fine-tune the details using our practical 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 attend site, we can quickly assess 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 safer way to carry out the work?

These are questions we ask ourselves daily. Often, the best solution is one the client had not considered beforehand. That is what clients expect from an experienced structural repair specialist. It is 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 structural and civil engineering practices turn to us for this type of work. If you have a project coming up, contact BT Preservation about commercial structural repairs.

Structural Repair Specialists And Health And Safety

These days, it goes without saying that everyone involved in commercial construction must maintain high health and safety standards. Structural repair is hazardous work. Dust, noise and manual handling risks apply to every job we do. Add the possibility of unstable walls, working at height and aggressive materials, and the risk of injury or harm increases further.

We’ve worked hard to promote a positive health and safety culture in Brick-Tie Preservation. We carry out proactive and reactive monitoring, so we know that this effort is paying huge dividends. It’s making our employees, customers and fellow contractors safer from accidents and from the prospect of poor health in the future.

We are a small but growing company, with a full time team of 15 employees. We have a Technical Director qualified to NEBOSH construction and general certificate level, along with an in-house health and safety representative, a trained manual handling trainer and a mask face-fit tester.

Health and safety involves everyone in our firm and is everyone’s responsibility. We’ve been commended for our approach by several of our main contractor clients. Our compliance is monitored by our independent consultants Stallard Kane.

This year we are delighted to reveal that they were so impressed with our health and safety compliance we were due an award for our efforts and for the second year running we scored over 95% for health and safety compliance.

We are also CHAS registered. The Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015 place legal duties on commercial clients to appoint contractors and designers and principal contractor (if more than one contractor is involved) while making sure they have the skills, knowledge, experience and organisational capability to carry out the task safely. We think you’ll be alright choosing us to help you!

We also carry out structural repairs for domestic and residential customers.
