CrackStitching
Using sympathetic and hidden repair methods, which will reinstate the original structural integrity, Helicrete is able to effectively repair your cracked masonry in your bridges, brick arches, heritage listed buildings, residential and commercial buildings internal or external.
REPOINTING BRICKWORK AND STONE
Brick and stone work that has been weathered damaged over time will need repointing, matching the mortar colour or even changing the mortar colour altogether.
RESTUMPING
Restumping involves replacing the stumps that hold up the house or property. When the stumps move from their original position this can cause problems such as structural building cracks and floor movement.
WALL RESTRAINT
The need for restraining bowed and leaning walls is quite a common one. This can be due to several different reasons and one of the more common ones being the lack of lateral restraint when the building was first built, or a change in the site conditions such as close excavation or demolition works.
CAVITY WALL TIE REPLACEMENT
Due the marine environment of Sydney, wall tie corrosion has become a common issue of ties installed during construction. The ties Helicrete use are manufactured using high quality marine grade 316 stainless steel material, which won't corrode.
LINTEL REPLACEMENT
The most common need for lintel replacement is from corrosion, which results in lifting and cracking of masonry or concrete around the embedded steel lintel. We can replace your corroded lintels for new Galvanised or Stainless Steel.
HERITAGE RESTORATION
Helicrete can carry out a range of heritage restoration work from re-pointing to brick replacement, replacing timber windows and doors, and everything in between. We have worked on building's dating back to circa 1400 AD
CONCRETE CANCER REPAIRS
There are many causes of concrete cancer such as lack of coverage around the reinforcing steel, magnesite topping exposed to moisture and poorly installed waterproofing. As the embedded steel corrodes it expands in volume and causes spalling of the surrounding concrete, often referred to as concrete cancer.
STRUCTURAL REPAIRS AND WALL STABILISING
Problems with subsidence, cracked brickwork, bowing, or leaning walls? We can help! Helicrete will repair and halt your structural defects.
EXPANSION JOINTS
Expansion joints may need to be created from defects such as thermal expansion and contraction, brick growth, foundation movement. There are various methods for the creation of expansion/movement/control joints. All involve cutting through the face of the masonry with the use of cutting saws, grinders or even chain saws with diamond teeth. We carry all the specialist cutting equipment.
Damp Proof Injection
The chemical Injection Damp Proof Course System has been a proven system for over 38 years. This system is a fast and clean way to protect and repel rising damp from buildings walls.
