Over time walls get severely weathered requiring the mortar between the bricks needing replaced. This will prevent damp penetrating the external wall which will stop internal damage. This technique is called ( Re-pointing or Pointing. )It will make your wall look brand new.
Wallfix Remedial also repair cracks. This requires a method called Crack Stitching.
Crack Stitching reintroduces structural integrity and redistributes structural loads for a quick simple, effective and permanent solution.
If you live near the coast, over time the sea air will erode the metal wall ties which hold the external and internal walls together causing them to fail. We can replace the ties using stainless steal helical wall ties. Our materials are sourced from a company called Helifix who's products have been used all over the world including the Sydney Opera House.
The steal lintels that hold the brickwork above windows and doors is known to rust out and fail over time, especially near the coast. With our experience these can be easily replaced and the new lintel coated with an anti-rust agent.
With 17 years experience in bricklaying, we can repair any smashed or damaged walls with the highest of quality. We are fully licensed and members of the Master Builders Association.

Marcus repaired our wall with helifix stitching, plastering the leak and installing a french drain. It was a pleasure to have him work at our place. He was efficient, always available and did a fantastic job. We couldn't be happier with the result and can't recommend him highly enough.

Our brick property faces due south, is 94 years old, and is regularly exposed to the wrath of the Sydney Southerlies. The south facing wall was in great need of repointing, as were the southern ends of the east and west walls. There were also cracks in the walls.
We contacted Marcus via his advertisement in the Manly Daily and he called at the house that afternoon and an email quote followed. Work commenced 10 days later and my wife and I are delighted with the quality of the work carried out.
Not only was the quality of the work to a very high standard (all cracks have been professionally attended to) but the timing and clean-up was to a standard one hopes for but does not always obtain. He is fully qualified and a pleasure to do business with.
