Vertical movement joint creation for Barratt Homes

Situated in Liverpool, Tower Gardens is a new development by Barratt Homes of three and four bedroom homes catering for first time buyers and growing families alike.
One plot was suffering from movement due to different foundations and required remedial works to allow for this ongoing movement. SUKR were instructed by Barrett Homes to create four vertical movement joints and install the Helibeam system at pre-determined locations. The movement joints were created on the rear of the building and to the front elevation around the central doorway using a combination of Helifix SlipTies and Helifix DryFix Ties. All works were completed in four days and in keeping with the local area we concealed the repairs using a variety of coloured facing brick including red and buff with blue and red detail, pointed up in a matching mortar.
