With regard to brick repairs Lingard Ltd has extensive knowledge and expertise in the repair and structural strengthening of cracked or bulging brickwork using a variety of techniques including resin anchors and stainless steel ties together with crack stitching or reconstruction.
Masonry deterioration is most commonly related to structural movement leading to cracking/spalling and subsequent penetration of rainwater leading to freeze/thaw damage.
Surface erosion is highly influenced by the nature and porosity of the masonry and its location ie. constant wetting/drying will lead to accelerated decay.
Selection of appropriate re-pointing mortar is crucial, as too strong a mix will lead to differential shrinkage stress cracking through the stone/brickwork.
Lingard Ltd frequently use lime-modified mortars for repointing works.
Lingard Ltd Engineers are equipped to offer structural strengthening solutions including bedding stainless steel ties or through the masonry fixed in position with resin-based adhesives.
Reinstatement of eroded brick or stone is usually carried out using bespoke colour-matched mortars providing similar surface appearances and textures.
Further deterioration can be minimised by use of impregnating clear resins which are undetectable and capable of extending the life of the structure.
