Crack stitching is a masonry reinforcement method used to repair appropriately assessed cracks in brickwork and other suitable masonry walls.
Stainless steel helical bars are installed into horizontal mortar bed joints, generally extending across the crack so they can redistribute tensile forces through sound surrounding masonry.
The bars are bonded in place using a compatible grout or resin system selected for the particular repair.
The process can be useful for suitable stepped and vertical cracks where the cause of movement has been investigated.
Crack stitching does not correct failed foundations, active subsidence, continuing wall movement or other unresolved structural problems.
Both product ranges use helical reinforcing bars, but the method of bonding the bars into the masonry joint is different.
Grout kits use a specified cementitious repair grout with application tools. PAM Ties grout products are designed for suitable structural masonry repair applications.
Resin kits use polyester resin cartridges and a compatible applicator gun to secure the bars.
The suitable method depends on the wall construction, crack behaviour, direction of forces and the repair specification.
Do not assume grout and resin are interchangeable. Where transverse or shear movement is a concern, obtain specific structural advice.
Both diameters are available in the PAM Ties range. The correct size depends on the masonry condition and repair design, not price alone.
Available in grout and resin kits with several pack quantities, plus standalone 3m lengths. Confirm suitability for the mortar joint and required reinforcement.
Available in grout and resin kits for applications where the repair specification calls for an 8mm diameter. Larger diameter does not automatically mean a better repair.
Check the structural repair specification, masonry thickness, joint geometry, bar embedment and intended forces. Seek professional advice where necessary.
Follow a competent repair specification and the specific installation instructions for your grout or resin kit.
Establish whether cracking is historic, progressive or caused by an unresolved structural issue. Check the wall's condition before any reinforcement work.
Carefully create slots in the specified horizontal mortar joints crossing the crack. Slot length, depth and spacing must follow the repair design.
Remove drilling and cutting debris. Prepare the joint in accordance with the bonding material's instructions, including any specified dampening.
Mix or dispense the approved grout or resin according to its instructions and place the initial bonding layer in the prepared slot.
Position the stainless steel bar across the crack to the specified embedment, ensuring it is properly supported by the bonding material.
Fully encapsulate the bar as required. Allow appropriate curing, then repoint or repair the mortar joint to match the wall.
New, widening, diagonal or substantial cracks may indicate foundation movement, lintel failure, wall instability or other structural defects.
Have unexplained or progressive structural cracking assessed by a suitably qualified professional before carrying out crack stitching work.
The installation method, bar length, number of bars and choice of bonding material should follow the repair specification rather than a generic rule of thumb.

Common questions about helical reinforcement, grout and resin kits and cracked masonry.
A crack stitching kit combines helical reinforcing bars with specified bonding materials and, depending on the kit, application tools for masonry crack repair.
The PAM crack bars are stainless steel helical reinforcement bars designed for installation into suitable masonry joints.
It can be used for certain stepped cracks in brickwork when the underlying cause has been assessed and an appropriate repair specified.
Suitable vertical masonry cracks may be reinforced with helical bars installed in horizontal mortar bed joints crossing the crack.
This depends on the wall construction, forces and repair design. The systems are not automatically interchangeable, so follow the specified bonding method.
Not necessarily. The correct bar diameter depends on the structural design, joint geometry and required reinforcement.
The 5-bar grout kits list five 1m helical bars, a 3-litre grout kit, a grout gun kit and a finger trowel.
The 6mm five-bar resin kit lists five 1m bars, three PAM resin cartridges, an applicator gun, nozzles and a glove.
Unexplained, progressive, major or potentially structural cracking should be assessed by a suitable professional before repair work.
No. Crack stitching reinforces masonry but does not correct the underlying cause of foundation movement or active subsidence.
It can be suitable for certain solid masonry walls, subject to construction, condition and the repair specification.
Certain cavity-wall cracking repairs can be undertaken using appropriately designed reinforcement. The correct installation depends on the masonry leaves and defect.
The necessary anchorage length depends on the repair specification. Do not assume one fixed embedment length is correct for every wall.
The bars are generally installed within mortar joints, which can be made good with suitable pointing material once the repair has cured.
Helical reinforcement bars can be cut with suitable equipment, provided the finished lengths meet the approved repair specification.
The 5 x 1m 6mm resin crack stitching kit is the lowest-priced complete kit listed here at £65.99.
