Let us carefully, sympathetically and promptly resolve your masonry, brickwork or wall stabilisation issue

Replacing Corroded Embedded Steel

When the strengthening steel incorporated within the construction of your property becomes the cause of its instability, this can be a significant worry. Safety and cost are the immediate concerns, which is why selecting the right experts to advise on the situation is essential.

What’s going on below the surface?

Moisture and oxygen can have a detrimental effect on steel. If your walls are compromised by water ingress, hygrothermal movement or any other action that brings air and water in contact with the steel there is a risk of it rusting, reducing the steel’s effectiveness. As it does ferrous oxide is produced which expands with slow but destructive force, pushing surrounding brickwork out of the way, causing cracking, lifting and bowing.

One of our clients' testimonials

M. Tildesley, Homeowner, SE London

Your team have finished here today and left the place in good order. They were really nice to deal with. I was very glad that the work could be fitted into your schedule so quickly to accommodate our pre-booked bathroom work. Thank you.

I’m also very grateful to Scott for requesting that special care was taken to screen the scaffold from the street to minimise blown dust. This has worked well and there were no issues for our neighbours. I also very much appreciated that Andy organised the work here so that the bathroom area was addressed first. This has also worked very well for us under the circumstances.

My son took a look at the finished work and thought everything looked very neat and complete. I feel reassured that the house will stand tall – and straighter! – for another hundred years.
