Structural Crack Repairs in Dorset
Structural cracks in your walls, ceilings, or around windows and doors can be a sign of subsidence affecting your Dorset property. Our structural crack repair service addresses both the visible damage and the underlying cause, ensuring a lasting solution rather than a cosmetic fix.
We begin every project with a detailed crack monitoring and structural assessment to determine whether cracks are caused by subsidence, thermal movement, or settlement. This diagnostic approach means you only pay for the repairs actually needed.
Our repair methods include resin injection, crack stitching with helical bars, and full structural rebuilds where necessary. We match existing brickwork and finishes so repairs blend seamlessly with your property.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if a crack is structural?
Structural cracks are typically wider than 2mm, diagonal in direction, and appear near corners of windows or doors. If you can fit a 10p coin in the crack, it warrants professional assessment. We offer free initial evaluations.
Can structural cracks be repaired permanently?
Yes, when the underlying cause is addressed first. We fix the root issue — whether it's subsidence, tree roots, or drainage failure — before carrying out structural repairs that are designed to last.
How much do structural crack repairs cost in Dorset?
Costs depend on the severity and cause. Simple crack stitching may cost a few hundred pounds, while major structural repairs involving underpinning can be significantly more. We provide free, no-obligation quotes.
Will my insurance cover crack repairs?
If the cracks are caused by subsidence, your buildings insurance should cover both investigation and repair costs. We work with all major insurers and can assist with your claim.
How long do structural crack repairs take?
Minor crack stitching can be completed in a day or two. More extensive repairs involving foundation work may take several weeks. We always provide a clear timeline before work begins.

Absolutely. We carry out structural crack repairs on residential, commercial, and industrial properties throughout Dorset. Our team has experience with all building types and construction methods.
