Crack stitching is a method of repairing cracked brickwork. This is done by stabilising the damaged walls with helical bars in-between the joints and injecting it with resin and mortar to hide the bar into the brickwork. Other methods of brickwork repair such as just using resin or mortar to fill the crack, can also be used for less severe cracks. Crack stitching is very effective, and successful method of repairing, and stabilising cracked brickwork, while also being non-invasive. The process of filling in the cut slots with dyed mortar helps to hide the repair.

The process of crack stiching
Grind out 30mm slots into the joints of the cracked brick work 500mm either side of the crack. Repeat this for every 5 bricks vertical the crack runs through. Replace or repair with resin any damaged bricks on the wall. Place helical bars into the horizontal joints. Inject resin into the horizontal joints. Blend coloured mortar into the horizontal joints, and bricks. Finish by filling the slots with the dyed mortar to look as undisturbed as possible.
