Cracks can occur to all properties due to ground movement, this can be caused by foundation movement, seismic events, severe dry and wet conditions, even temperature and environmental changes.
Brickwork stitching repairs can in most instances be carried out by the use of epoxy resins and stainless steel bars.
Mortar beds are raked out extending further than the ends of the cracks in walls and at different heights, these are then filled with a combination of stainless steel bars and epoxy resins made into a type of horizontal sandwich. They are then faced off with cement to the mortar beds to blend in with the existing brickwork. The vertical cracks are filled with an epoxy based weatherproof filler. When the crack stitching is finished it will not be visible.

General FAQs
- How Much will it cost to remedy my damp problem/ can you give me a price over the phone? Every Damp Problem will be unique in terms of the extent of work required and the size of the problem, depending on what the issue is. It is also dependent on what products are used which in turn will affect the price.
- Are your treatments guaranteed, if so for how long? Yes, most of our work is guaranteed for 20 years.
- How long do I need to wait to redecorate after work and replastering? Non vinyl emulsion paint can normally be used after approximately 3-4 weeks. Impervious type of wall coverings such as vinyl and washable papers or paints should not be used until the walls have fully dried out. Full drying out may take up to one month for every 25mm depth of wall. Drying times are dependent on various factors such as the ventilation provided during the drying process, the room temperature and the extent of dampness initially.
- How long is the report and quotation of works valid for? Once we have inspected your property, the quotation provided will be valid for 3 months. After this time we would need to review the quote, however most of the time the cost will remain the same for longer. If the report is over 9 months from the date of inspection another visit would be necessary.
- What experience do your employees have? All surveyors carrying out the initial inspection have extensive experience in the remedial industry and are qualified with Certificated Surveyor in Remedial Treatments (CSRT) or equivalent. As of 2018, this certification has changed to Certificated Surveyor of Timber & Dampness in Buildings (CSTDB). All of our installers are employed by British Damp Proofing directly and no work listed within a report is sub contracted out.
- Do you charge for surveys? Surveys are subject to a cost. Our head office will advise you on the exact cost and other other queries you may have.
- How soon can you come out and survey the issue? We will usually visit the property within 7-10 days of receiving the inspection fee. During peak periods this may be longer.
- Can your surveyor give me a price on the day? In short, no. Our surveyors carry out the initial inspection and take measurements that are required. Their notes are then emailed to the office and costings calculated. As their notes are sent across to the office digitally and the reports are emailed to the client unless requested otherwise, you will receive the report within 2 business days.
