Brick stitching repair is a proven technique used to restore the structural integrity of cracked or damaged masonry walls. Whether it's from settling, seasonal movement, or general wear and tear, cracks in walls can compromise the safety and appearance of a building. Brick stitching uses high-strength wall stitching bars embedded into the mortar joints to reinforce and bind the cracked sections, effectively "stitching" the wall back together.
At Simply Better Services Australia, we specialise in brick stitching repair for both residential and commercial buildings. Our expert team ensures that every repair is performed using industry best practices and materials that blend seamlessly into your existing structure.
Why Brick Stitching Matters
Cracks in brickwork aren't just unsightly — they are often indicators of deeper structural issues. If left unchecked, these cracks can widen, weaken the wall, and lead to moisture intrusion or even collapse in severe cases. Brick stitching offers a durable and cost-effective solution without the need for complete wall replacement.
The Process of Professional Crack Stitching
Step-by-Step Crack Stitching Services
Our approach to crack stitching involves a detailed, multi-step process:
Inspection Diagnosis: Our technicians first assess the extent and cause of the cracking.
Mortar Removal: Damaged mortar is carefully removed around the cracked area.
Installation of Wall Stitching Bars: Stainless steel stitching bars are embedded into slots cut across the cracks.
Resin Bonding: High-strength grout or resin is applied to secure the bars in place.
Mortar Repointing: The wall is repointed with matching mortar for a uniform look.
This technique ensures that both cosmetic and structural concerns are addressed effectively.
Advantages of Using Stitching Bars in Brick Repair
Wall stitching bars are designed to transfer tensile loads across cracks, offering reinforcement that traditional patching methods can't provide. These bars are:
Corrosion-resistant (usually stainless steel)
Flexible to accommodate future minor movements
Durable and long-lasting
Easy to conceal for minimal visual impact
Using wall stitching bars is one of the most effective methods for long-term masonry crack repair.
