Mr Wilson completed the Find a Contractor form at Twistfix.co.uk for masonry repair and reinforcement at his South London home in Streatham. Mr Wilson had some old cracks in the brick walls of his home that needed repairing.

Twistfix passed on his details to various Registered Contractors that service the South London area for masonry repair work. Mr Wilson subsequently selected Bridgewood Builders of Cheam to carry out the reinforcing repair.

Bridgewood Builders ground out and cut a series of slots into the masonry mortar beds at the depth required and then cleaned out the slots ready to take the crack stitching bars. The WHO-60 masonry repair grout was the placed in the slots and a crack stitching bar placed into the grout central to the crack so the bar extended 500mm either side of the crack.

Once all the reinforcing bars where placed the masonry was then repointed and the brick repair was complete.

Once a structural engineer or other professional has diagnosed the problem and specified the remedial action Twistfix can supply a full range of masonry repair products that are all relatively easy to apply.
