Structural Repairs – Bollards Court, Chester

Westby Homes instructed SUKR to reinstate the structural integrity of the masonry at Bollards Court, a three storey masonry building showing historic cracking to the rear left hand corner. Under the requirements of the party wall agreement, Wesby Homes were to ensure that no further damage occurred during the development works of the adjacent site. The cracks were vertically stepped at various locations up the height of the rear left corner of the building, which were believed to be caused by historic settlement of the foundation. The cracking had been monitored over a period of time and results indicated the cracking was not progressive.

A combination of Helifix Helibars, HeliBond grout & CemTies were installed as per the design to tie the defective masonry together whilst creating deep masonry beams to distribute the structural loads. As an approved installer we were able to offer a 10 year Helibeam System Approved Installer Guarantee which also falls under the Consumer Protection Association Insurance Backed Guarantee Scheme.
