RePointing
Mortar erodes over time and environmental exposure, resulting in structural instability and, in extreme cases, structural failure.
It is very important to choose the right type of repointing material to complement the existing brickwork as incompatible material may result in damage to the brickwork.
Crack stitching
Crack can occur in the walls and may need to be stitched back together to minimise structural instability. FVS uses 316 stainless steel stitching bars to join the sections back together and repoint with a colour matched mortar.
Remedial cavity ties
Remedial cavity ties hold the skins of the building together and can corrode over time and exposure to environmental conditions. FVS install 316 stainless steel cavity ties to join the 2 skins together, patching the external holes with a colour matched mortar.
Flashings and lintel replacement
Flashings are important to direct water from a cavity to the external of a building. Flashings can degrade over time, depending on constructions methods and may need to be renewed to maintain a watertight structure.
