Cracks that deserve attention
Diagonal cracks, stepped brickwork cracks, cracks wider at the top than bottom, repeated cracking after repair and cracks paired with sticking doors can indicate movement.
Repair the cause, then the crack
Wall Crack Repairs Linked to Foundation Movement
Cracks are symptoms. Before filling and decorating, it is important to understand whether movement is still active and whether the foundations or supporting ground need stabilising.

Why cosmetic repair may fail
If the ground continues to move, filler and render repairs can reopen. Stabilising the support beneath the wall gives cosmetic work a better chance of lasting.
What happens next
We inspect the pattern, discuss history and, where suitable, provide a resin injection proposal to stabilise the affected zone.

Subsidence Repair
Visible cracking, sticking doors, uneven floors and fresh gaps around extensions can all point to foundation movement. We investigate the cause, stabilise weak ground and strengthen foundations with targeted resin injection.
Learn moreResin Injection
Resin injection is a modern ground improvement method that places expanding structural resin into weak or voided soil zones below a building. It is fast, targeted and often avoids large-scale excavation.

RFR provides resin injection leak sealing and water stopping for basements, retaining walls, construction joints, below-ground structures and cracked concrete affected by water ingress.

Wall Crack Repairs FAQs
Straight answers before you book a survey.
Are all cracks subsidence?
No. Some cracks are shrinkage, thermal movement or historic settlement. A focused assessment helps separate cosmetic cracks from movement that needs repair.
Should I send photos?
Yes. Photos of the inside and outside of the crack, nearby doors/windows and the wider elevation are very useful at enquiry stage.
Can you repair the brickwork too?
Our core work is stabilisation and foundation repair. We can advise on the right sequence for cosmetic repairs after movement is addressed.
