London Structural Repairs have completed bay window repairs to a property in Marlow just outside of London.
We installed Helical bars to the right hand side junction of this period property to stop any further cracking and to stop water and moisture entering the property ruining internal decoration. Bay windows are a common feature in period properties and they can pose severe structural defects leading to cracking, which can cause major stability concerns, ingress of moisture and lower the value of your property.
Bay windows commonly fall into a state of disrepair and in order to bring an aesthetically pleasing redecoration programme you may also require structural reinforcement, to repair any cracks and stone damage.
Common structural defects are often lateral stability issues, lintel failure and a combination of stone erosion and failed pointing mortar. Combined with very shallow foundations it is often very common that bay windows will suffer from severe cracking at the junctions between the main house walls and the bay window.
It is essential that reinforcement is installed and a combination of masonry reinforcement along with lateral restraint ties in order to restrain and prevent further cracking whilst providing a concealed method of repair.
One of our recent projects on a victorian house to carry out remedial repairs South London
London Structural repairs carried out a variety of remedial repairs South London for a private property developer.
The property was a period property that was suffering from bowing walls on the side elevations of the house and there was also cracks in the property that needed remedial crack stitching works carried out.
We were asked to strip the house bare internally for the client before carrying out the remedial Repairs, removing all plaster from the walls and ceilings.
LSR provided a full Structural survey and designed the remedial solutions for the properties defects.
Lateral Restraint ties were installed to the bowing side elevation walls, connecting to the floor joists to stop any further outward movement of the wall.
Bowing walls outward movement in most cases is due to insufficient lateral restraint, tying the wall to the ceiling and floor joists. Without these lateral restraint ties the building is vulnerable and with the continued outward movement the building is at risk of collapsing.
Carrying out essential structural repairs will protect your investment
Helifix bars were installed to all external and internal walls where cracks were present this is known as crack stitching.

LSR took on a Building Conservation Specialist project to do some brick repairs-pointing and build walls using lime mortars to the acceptance of the Conservation officer and Architects in charge of this project.
This was a grade 2 listed building and we had lots of guidelines to follow to preserve the interest of the building. London Structural Repairs operatives repointed the entire building using specialist lime mortars, using our experience and knowledge to do a high quality job.
The type of pointing used on this project was Flush Pointing. Flush pointing, is a very specialist kind of brick pointing. No cement is used in the mortar as it is a mixture of sand and lime. Flush pointing is normally used on old walls, or front sides and back facades of your property The process for this type of brick pointing is to over fill your brick joints, then with your pointing trowel, scrap the mortar flush with the brickwork, and lightly rub up with a wire brush When done correctly, flush Pointing leaves a rich look, and is a wonderful form of brick pointing. However, we must point out that flush pointing needs to be done by a lime and pointing Building Conservation Specialist for a hassle free application.
At London Structural Repairs we have vast experience with dealing with many different types of brick repairs & pointing to period and modern properties, including conservation work and listed buildings.
LSR skilled operatives are specialists in:
Building and repairing brick walls.

Our client had recently purchased this property and contacted us having already had a structural survey completed, with recommendations to some Masonry Repair works to be carried out. When you have a Structural Survey the survey can be quite vague as to what remedial works are required, thats why it is important to get in touch with a structural repair company if any remedial works are recommended who have the knowledge and experience to provide a repair solution.
This particular building needed Masonry Repairs carried out as it was suffering from cracks to a side flank wall, a bowing flank wall on the opposite side and also cracks in and around the front Masonry Bay Window. The client was intending on doing a full rip out and refurbishment to the inside of the building but needed to have the Masonry Repairs carried out first.
LSR started out by dealing with the side flank wall with the cracks in it. We cut out and replaced the cracked bricks and installed crack stitch bars to strengthen the wall.
LSR are one of Londons leading Masonry repairs specialists.
We then carried our the Masonry Repair works to the Bay Window. Masonry Reinforcement was installed to to the ground floor and 1st floor bay window and the external masonry was reattached to the internal joists with the use of drive pins and then all the chases and making good to the bay window was carried out with the use colour matched lime mortar.
Our last job on the property was to install Lateral Restraint ties to the bowing flank wall. lack of lateral restraint is a common fault on period properties and the works are to reconnect the the internal floor joists to the outer walls to stop any further movement. The works are usually carried out from the outside of the property but on this occasion we had to install straps instead of ties as the flank wall was to close to the next door neighbours property. LSR lifted floor boards and cut out pockets in the masonry and used a non shrinking grout to hold the straps into the pockets as well as noggins in-between the floor joists.
