Structural Masonry Repairs – Bourne 🧱

A little look behind the scenes at one of our latest structural repair projects.

Following a structural inspection, the cracking and movement to this bungalow and extension were assessed as being associated with historical movement. With the cause investigated, our job was to carefully repair and strengthen the affected masonry and bring some life back into the building.

We’ve carried out extensive masonry reinforcement across several elevations, carefully cutting out the mortar joints and installing stainless-steel helical reinforcement bars into the existing brickwork using structural repair grout/resin.

Some areas required considerably more attention than others, including around existing openings and where the original bungalow meets the extension. Rather than simply filling the visible cracks, the reinforcement has been installed across the affected masonry to help tie everything together before the joints are made good and the brickwork is finished.

There’s still some finishing and making good to complete, but these photos give a good idea of what goes into this type of repair before the HeliBars disappear back into the brickwork.

Another property where the aim isn’t just to make it look better — it’s to carry out the repair properly and give the existing building a new lease of life.

Extensive Structural Brickwork Repairs 🧱

A substantial structural repair project recently completed by Cambourne Brickwork & Building Ltd, with extensive cracking and movement affecting multiple areas of the property.

The works involved stitch repairing the affected masonry using stainless-steel helical bars and structural resin, repairing and making good the cracked mortar joints, and addressing damage around the window openings and cracked stone cills.

There were also multiple broken and damaged bricks across the elevations. Getting the finished appearance right was just as important as carrying out the structural repairs.

Rather than introducing noticeably different new bricks into the main elevations, we carefully extracted matching original bricks from the garage and used these to replace the damaged bricks in the most visible areas of the property. The garage was then reinstated using a carefully selected close-match brick, keeping any difference in brickwork in a much less prominent location and avoiding new bricks drawing your eye across the main elevations.

Once all repairs were completed, the affected areas were repointed and made good, followed by a complete clean-up of the property and working areas.

A lot of care went into this one — not just strengthening and repairing the masonry, but making sure the finished work blended into the existing property as naturally as possible.

🚧 What a busy few weeks it’s been! 🧱🔨
We’ve had a lot going on across the jobs recently, with footings underway for a new extension, while also finishing a garage/gym

From groundwork and blockwork to getting the finishing touches in place, it’s been full steam ahead — and it’s great to see each project really starting to take shape! 💪

A massive effort from the team as always. Plenty more to come! 👊
