From first survey to
final finish.

Every service below is available as a stand-alone commission or as part of a full remediation package, spanning reinforcement corrosion, chemical attack (chlorides, carbonation, ASR, sulphates) and post-fire assessment. Priced per element, per m² or per programme.

// SERVICE 01

Structural Diagnostics

Investigation & condition survey

Detailed visual, hammer-tap and instrument surveys to identify delamination, spalling and cover loss. We map every affected area and grade its severity before any works commence.

  • Hammer & sounding surveys
  • Cover meter & half-cell mapping
  • Photographic defect registers
// SERVICE 02

Concrete Chemistry & Testing

Establish the deterioration mechanism

Core sampling and on-site testing to identify the mechanism at play, chloride ingress, carbonation, sulphate attack, ASR, or a combination. Sampling and laboratory work is scoped to answer the specific diagnostic question, so the specification follows the fact, not a guess.

  • pH indicator carbonation depth testing
  • Chloride ion titration and profile analysis
  • Sulphate content and BRE SD1 ground-water assessment
  • Petrographic examination for ASR, ettringite and mix design
  • Cover meter, half-cell potential and resistivity surveys
// SERVICE 03

Reinforcement Corrosion Repair

Break out · clean · treat · reinstate

Concrete broken out to a minimum of 25 mm behind the bar. Rebar cleaned to SA 2½, treated with a zinc-rich passivating primer, then reinstated with a compliant repair mortar or micro-concrete.

  • Selective breakout with hydro/mechanical means
  • Grit-blast cleaning to SA 2½
  • EN 1504-3 R3/R4 repair mortars
// SERVICE 04

Concrete Spall & Patch Repair

Reinstatement to profile

From isolated soffit patches to running façade spalls, we form, prime and rebuild in appropriate repair concrete, feathered and finished to match the substrate.

  • Feathered edge & saw-cut perimeters
  • Fibre-reinforced repair mortars
  • Anti-carbonation coating options
// SERVICE 05

Cathodic Protection (Advisory)

Long-term corrosion control

Where chloride contamination is extensive, we advise on galvanic anode and impressed-current systems, working with specialist installers to protect the whole element long-term.

  • Galvanic sacrificial anodes
  • Anode spacing & load calculations
  • Cover-zone remediation
// SERVICE 06

Structural Assessment & Reporting

Reports contractors & engineers can use

Structured reports with plans, defect registers, photographs, laboratory data and a costed repair schedule. Written to be read by consulting engineers, insurers and asset owners.

  • EN 1504 compliant methodology
  • Costed scope of works
  • Digital defect registers
// SERVICE 07

Crack Injection

Sealing structural and non-structural cracks

Injection of low-viscosity epoxy or polyurethane resins into cracks to restore monolithic behaviour, block water ingress and prevent further deterioration. Product and viscosity chosen to match crack width, movement and environment.

  • Low-viscosity epoxy for structural, non-moving cracks (Nitofill LV)
  • Flexible PU resin for wet or actively-leaking cracks (Nitofill TH)
  • Port-and-seal method, pressure-injected to full depth
// SERVICE 08

Crack Stitching & Helical Reinforcement

Restraining movement across cracks

Stainless-steel helical bars bonded into slots cut across a crack to restrain further movement and restore tensile capacity. Common on masonry-clad concrete, façades and structural walls where injection alone isn't sufficient.

  • Helifix HeliBar stainless steel helical bars
  • Helifix HeliBond cementitious grout
  • Discrete, low-disruption install — no wide-scale demolition
// SERVICE 09

Protective Coatings

Anti-carbonation, chloride-resistant & elastic systems

Whole-element coatings applied after repair to extend service life. Specification matched to the deterioration mechanism: anti-carbonation for CO₂ ingress, chloride-resistant for coastal / de-icing salt exposure, or elastomeric to bridge dynamic cracking.

  • Dekguard S anti-carbonation coating (EN 1504-2)
  • Dekguard S200 chloride & water resistant coating
  • Dekguard Elastic crack-bridging coating for façades
Investigation marking on beam
// Method statement

Every repair is executed to EN 1504.

The European standard for concrete repair isn't a suggestion, it's the yardstick a defensible repair is measured against. We work to it as a minimum on every project.
