Crack Repairs

Crack Repairs Services

Crack Repairs need to be carried out before interior or exterior painting commences. Before damp proofing and painting, all cracks in the walls need to be opened up and repaired. There are various types of cracks, thin small cracks, known as “hairline” cracks and the larger cracks that go right through a wall which can cause great damage to the foundation. Wall cracks, according to the National Home Builders Registration Council (NHBRC), can be classified as follows:

• Crack width under 1mm – slight problem – normal decoration for repairing.
• Crack between 1 and 5mm – minor issue – normal decoration for repairing.
• Crack between 5 and 15mm – moderate problem – normal repairs/minor masonry replacement required.
• Crack between 15 and 25mm – severe concern – extensive repair work/ replacing wall section required.
• Wider than 25mm – very dangerous – major repair work/partial rebuilding required.

We can repair wall cracks by either the use of a patching compound or by re-plastering a crack and restoring it to a pristine state for existing residential homes, commercial buildings, townhouses and more. Most cracks if not repaired will start to allow water in, which will then cause damp and mould growth within the building. Don’t delay, repair your wall cracks today.
