Repair options we may recommend
New piers and movement joints
Brick piers are built at intervals along the wall, bonded in or tied with stainless fixings, to stiffen it against wind and lean. Vertical movement joints are cut where a long run keeps cracking. Gate piers are rebuilt larger and on deeper footings where they carry heavy gates.
Best for: Long walls with regular cracks, or weak gate piers
Repointing and minor repairs
Weak mortar is raked out and the wall repointed in a mortar that suits the bricks, and damaged bricks are replaced with matching ones. Loose copings are rebedded or replaced with a design that throws water clear of both faces. This is often enough for an upright wall.
Best for: Upright walls with weathered joints, loose copings or spalled bricks

Your boundary and garden wall repairs questions
What is the price of boundary and garden wall repairs in Redcar?
Guide prices for boundary and garden wall repairs in Redcar start from about £285 per wall, including VAT, on Yorkshire and the Humber rates. Your fixed written price follows photos or a survey and depends on the extent of the work and access.
Do you carry out boundary and garden wall repairs in Redcar?
Yes. We take enquiries from across Redcar, including TS6, TS10, and from nearby places such as Guisborough and Middlesbrough. Send photos for a free initial view and we will tell you what happens next.
Does the ground around Redcar cause cracking?
North Yorkshire ranges from limestone dales and moors to clays and glacial deposits in the Vale of York, with the Selby coalfield in the south and ironstone workings in Cleveland. Teesside has areas of soft and made ground. Only an investigation can say why a particular building has moved.
Can tree roots damage a garden wall?
Yes, they often do. Roots can lift footings, push walls sideways and, on clay soils, dry the ground so it shrinks under the wall. A wall can sometimes be rebuilt to bridge roots. Take advice before removing a large tree, as it may be protected and removal on clay can cause heave.
Does home insurance cover a fallen garden wall?
Sometimes, but many policies exclude garden walls or cover them only for certain events, such as vehicle impact or storm. Frost, wear and tree root damage are usually excluded. If a vehicle caused the damage, the driver’s insurer may pay. Check your policy and tell your insurer before permanent repairs start.
