Brick Stitching

What Is Brick Stitching?

Brick stitching is a highly effective masonry repair technique used to stabilize and reinforce cracked or damaged brick walls without the need for full reconstruction. By inserting stainless steel bars or helical rods across cracks within the mortar joints, brick stitching “stitches” the masonry back together, restoring structural integrity and preventing further movement. This minimally invasive method is ideal for repairing both vertical and stepped cracks in walls caused by settlement, moisture damage, or structural stress. Brick stitching is commonly used in residential, commercial, and heritage building repairs, offering a cost-effective, long-lasting solution. If you're dealing with cracked brickwork, professional brick stitching can help restore strength, appearance, and safety to your structure.

Why Should It Be Done?

Brick stitching should be done to repair and stabilize cracked brickwork without the need for full wall replacement. Cracks in brick walls can occur due to structural movement, foundation settlement, water damage, or general wear over time. If left untreated, these cracks can grow, compromise the building’s stability, and lead to costly damage.
