Heritage masonry presents a specialised repair environment. Brickwork may have historic value, distinctive detailing or construction characteristics that need to remain visible after remedial work.
At the same time, older walls can develop cracks, weakened areas and separation between masonry sections. Repair strategies therefore need to address structural requirements while considering the existing character of the building.
HeliMate Australia supplies helical bars, remedial wall ties, structural tie bars, grout and epoxy products for masonry repair applications, including heritage brickwork.
Why Heritage Masonry Requires Careful Planning
Historic brickwork can differ from contemporary construction in its materials, mortar, wall configuration and detailing. A repair method that works on a modern wall may require adjustment when used on an older building.
