BrickFix – Complete Structural Repair & Reinforcement Systems

Professional Wall Tie Replacement, Crack Stitching & Masonry Stabilisation Solutions for UK & Northern Irish Construction Projects

Strengthening the UK & Northern Ireland’s Buildings with Precision and Durability

Structural stability is essential in any building, whether it’s a modern residential development, a Victorian townhouse, or a heritage-listed property. Over time, factors such as weathering, corrosion, poor construction, or ground movement can compromise the structural integrity of masonry walls. When this occurs, professional-grade reinforcement solutions become essential to preserve safety, aesthetics, and long-term durability. That’s where BrickFix excels.

Available through Toner Dampproofing Supplies Ltd (UK) the BrickFix range is specifically engineered to support structural repair work involving cavity wall ties, crack stitching, and masonry reinforcement. Designed for professional use but accessible to competent DIYers, BrickFix combines innovation, durability, and compliance with BRE Digest 329 and 401, ensuring every solution delivers reliability and peace of mind.

The Need for Structural Repair Solutions

Over time, cavity walls, brickwork, and stone masonry may develop structural issues due to environmental conditions, construction faults, or material degradation. In the UK and Northern Ireland, common problems include the failure of original wall ties, thermal movement, or cracks forming in mortar joints and wall panels.

Wall tie corrosion is particularly widespread in older cavity wall properties, especially those built before the widespread use of stainless steel components. Cracked walls are equally problematic, not only compromising structural integrity but also allowing damp ingress and heat loss. Fortunately, many of these issues can be addressed without major reconstruction using the BrickFix structural repair system.

BrickFix offers a complete repair ecosystem, from helical wall ties and stitching bars to CE1 structural grout, crack filler mortars, and precision installation tools. Each product is built to the highest specification, ensuring performance in even the harshest conditions found across coastal regions in the UK and Northern Ireland.

BrickFix DriveTie Helical Wall Ties – Fast, Clean Cavity Wall Reinforcement

The BrickFix DriveTie Helical Wall Ties are engineered for remedial wall tie replacement where existing metal ties have corroded or were installed incorrectly. Manufactured from corrosion-resistant 304-grade stainless steel, these helical wall ties offer long-term durability and a fast, non-invasive installation method.

Designed to be driven into pre-drilled pilot holes using a rotary hammer drill and the BrickFix DriveTie Fixing Tool, the DriveTies bond directly into both leaves of the cavity wall. The helical design enhances mechanical anchoring, ensuring tensile performance across a variety of substrates, including common brick, concrete block, and stone.

Available in sizes from 195mm to 245mm, these ties suit different cavity widths and wall structures. Their self-tapping design reduces disruption and enables rapid installation across large-scale repair projects. Compliant with BRE Digest guidelines, the DriveTie range is a reliable choice for remedial works in both domestic and commercial buildings.

BrickFix DriveTie Fixing Tool

To ensure quick and accurate installation of DriveTie wall ties, the BrickFix DriveTie Fixing Tool (Professional) is an essential product. Compatible with SDS and SDS Plus hammer drills, the tool features a spring-action mechanism that automatically sets each tie 10mm below the surface for a flush, professional finish.

Its robust construction and ergonomic grip allow for comfortable use across multiple installations, reducing fatigue and improving consistency. Whether you’re reinforcing a Victorian terrace in Belfast or replacing corroded ties in a semi-detached home in Sheffield, the DriveTie system combined with this fixing tool ensures fast and efficient reinforcement.

BrickFix Helical Bars – Crack Stitching for Masonry Repairs

Cracks in masonry walls are not only unsightly but can signify underlying structural movement or failure. The BrickFix Helical Bars are a non-invasive and cost-effective solution for stitching these cracks and restoring wall stability. Constructed from premium 304-grade stainless steel, the bars are designed for embedment into mortar beds and can be bent to navigate corners and complex masonry patterns.

Installed horizontally across the cracked area, the helical bars provide tensile reinforcement and distribute structural loads more evenly, preventing further movement. Each bar measures 1 metre in length with a 6mm diameter, making them easy to handle and quick to install.

This system is particularly valuable for refurbishing heritage buildings, where preserving original materials is critical. With minimal disruption and excellent bonding performance when used with CE1 Grout, BrickFix Helical Bars deliver lasting repairs without compromising aesthetics.

BrickFix CE1 Grout

Designed to complement the BrickFix Helical Bars, BrickFix CE1 Grout is a two-part, cementitious thixotropic grout that ensures a durable, non-shrink bond between the reinforcement bars and the surrounding masonry. With rapid setting times and the ability to fill voids completely, CE1 Grout is ideal for securing helical bars in crack stitching and structural reinforcement applications.

The grout’s chloride and nitrate-free formulation makes it safe for use in sensitive environments, including residential and historic properties. Achieving up to 30% of its compressive strength within the first 24 hours, it allows for fast project turnaround without compromising on strength.

Supplied in a 3-litre pack, the grout can be applied manually or using a power-assisted pointing gun for improved precision and speed. Once cured, it provides a permanent bond that can withstand environmental stress, ensuring the structural repair remains secure over the long term.

BrickFix Crack Stitching Kits

For contractors or homeowners undertaking small to medium-scale crack repair projects, the BrickFix Masonry Crack Stitching Kit offers a convenient and cost-effective solution. This comprehensive kit includes 10 stainless steel helical bars, 3 litres of CE1 Grout, a mixing paddle, a pointing gun, and a trowel, all the tools and materials needed for a professional-grade repair.

Designed to simplify the repair process, the kit is ideal for stabilising cracked masonry walls in residential or light commercial buildings. Once installed, the helical bars and grout provide a robust reinforcement system that prevents crack progression and restores structural integrity.

While the system addresses the symptoms of masonry cracking, it’s always advised to consult with a structural engineer to rule out deeper causes such as subsidence or foundation movement. Used correctly, however, the BrickFix Stitching Kit remains one of the fastest, cleanest, and most reliable solutions available in today’s repair market.

BrickFix Neoprene and Mechanical Wall Ties

In situations where cavity wall ties need to be replaced or augmented, BrickFix offers both Neoprene Wall Ties and Mechanical Wall Ties to suit a variety of building types and cavity widths. These expanding wall ties are installed using the BrickFix Neoprene Tie Fixing Tool, which streamlines the process through its one-piece design.

The ties expand securely into both masonry leaves, anchoring firmly in place with minimal disruption. Offered in multiple lengths to accommodate different wall configurations, these ties ensure that cavity walls maintain their structural cohesion over time.

Installers should always follow industry guidance, such as BRE Digest 329 and 401, to determine proper spacing, orientation, and tie type. This attention to detail ensures compliance, durability, and safety in all wall tie replacement projects.

BrickFix Joint and Crack Filler Mortar

For sealing surface-level cracks or preparing repointed areas, the BrickFix Joint and Crack Filler Mortar provides a flexible, waterproof finish that blends seamlessly into surrounding masonry. This cement-free mortar can be used to fill joints between 0.5mm and 25mm wide and is compatible with all common substrates.

Once hardened, it can be painted over or rendered, providing a clean finish while also sealing out moisture. Its ease of application using a pointing gun makes it a favourite among repair professionals who need a quick but lasting solution for joint repairs or cosmetic refinements.
