Providing cost effective and helibar installation in South London and the home counties

Can you see cracks in your brickwork? In need of a specialist helibar contractor? Where masonry has cracked and failed as a result of ground movement, weathering or increased loads, the helibar / Helibeam System provides stress-free horizontal bed joint reinforcement which ties the masonry together while creating deep masonry beams which restore integrity and distribute structural loads. Other ties and fixings provide lateral and vertical restraint to complete the system, which is applicable to all types of masonry structure.

For many situations, the Helibeam System offers a structurally sound alternative, at significantly less cost than underpinning but, if necessary, the system can be combined with additional support to the foundation in the form of screwpiles.

The technique can also be used to form lintels over openings where none exist as part of the original construction.

All cracked brickwork is binded with epoxi resin (epoxy resin repairs). Been given a quote already? Do not accept it until you have spoken to us first. We can save you money on all Epoxi resin repairs / and Helibar Installation.

Helibar Information

The principal components of the Helibeam System are HeliBars, of differing lengths depending upon the application, which are bonded into cut slots at pre-determined levels in the masonry using HeliBond thixotropic cementitious grout. It is the composite action between the HeliBars and HeliBond that provides the core element of the Helibeam System, making it such a versatile, reliable and successful masonry repair system. HeliBar starts as round stainless steel wire with a typical 0.2% proof stress of 500N/mm 2 but after the cold forming manufacturing process that creates the helical hi-fin design, this more than doubles to around 1100N/mm 2 . This means that HeliBar, with its relatively small diameter, provides substantial tensile properties to the masonry, particularly when combined with HeliBond grout which locks between the fins and bonds to the masonry. Consequently, the well proven Helibeam System has a variety of remedial and new build applications.
