Expert Crack Diagnosis and Targeted Repair Plans in Exeter
Not all cracks are created equal. Some are harmless, while others may point to serious underlying issues. That’s why, at ASRS Ltd, we never jump straight into repairs—we begin every project in Exeter with a thorough assessment of your property.
Our experienced team will visit your site to inspect the cracking in detail. We look at the location, depth, direction, and behaviour of each crack to understand what’s really going on. Common causes include soil movement, old drainage systems, changes in structural loading, or environmental factors like moisture and temperature cycles.
Once we’ve identified the root cause, we’ll explain everything in plain language and propose a tailored repair plan designed to solve the issue—not just hide it. From small cosmetic cracks to structural concerns in walls or foundations, we’re here to help you make the right decision for your property’s safety, stability, and long-term condition.
Helifix-Approved Crack Repairs in Exeter
As approved installers of the Helifix Masonry Repair System, ASRS Ltd brings trusted, cutting-edge technology to every crack repair project in Exeter. The Helibeam System allows us to stabilise and strengthen cracked or failing walls without the need for disruptive rebuilding or costly underpinning.
This system uses stainless steel helical bars bonded into horizontal mortar beds with specialist grout. These bars create hidden “masonry beams” that help redistribute loads, stabilising the wall and preventing further cracking. The process is clean, efficient, and leaves the building’s appearance virtually unchanged once repointing is complete.
Whether your property is made from brick, stone, or blockwork, the Helibeam System can be tailored to suit. And for extra peace of mind, we’re able to offer insurance-backed guarantees on most Helifix projects—so you know your repair is not only structurally sound, but also protected for the future.

Common Signs You May Need Crack Repair
Cracks in your walls or brickwork might not always seem urgent, but they can be early indicators of something more serious. Common signs to watch for include diagonal cracks near doors or windows, stepped cracks in external walls, or cracks that continue to widen or deepen over time. You might also notice sticking windows or doors, which can point to subtle movement in your property’s structure.
In some cases, the damage may appear minor on the surface but could be linked to underlying problems such as ground movement, subsidence, or drainage issues. That’s why it’s important to have cracks assessed early by a qualified professional.
At ASRS Ltd, we offer free site visits across Exeter, providing honest advice and clear guidance on whether action is needed. Early intervention can prevent more extensive damage down the line—saving you time, money, and a lot of worry.

Crack Stitching: A Smarter Solution for Masonry Repairs
Many property owners worry that cracked walls mean expensive rebuilding or underpinning—but in most cases, that’s not necessary. One of the most effective modern techniques we use in Exeter is crack stitching, especially when paired with the Helifix Helibeam System.
This method involves inserting stainless steel helical bars into the mortar beds of the affected wall. These bars are bonded in place using a high-strength grout, effectively tying the masonry back together and restoring structural integrity—without the need for demolition or excavation.
Once the area is repointed, the repair is virtually invisible. It’s quick, clean, and causes minimal disruption to the property or its occupants. Crack stitching is suitable for both contemporary and heritage buildings, making it a reliable choice when appearance matters just as much as performance. At ASRS Ltd, we’ve used this technique across many Exeter homes with outstanding, long-lasting results.

Heritage-Friendly Crack Repairs for Period Properties in Exeter
Older buildings bring charm and character—but when cracks begin to appear, they can raise serious concerns about both structure and aesthetics. At ASRS Ltd, we specialise in sympathetic crack repair solutions for period and heritage properties throughout Exeter. Whether your building is made from brick, stone, or blockwork, we understand how to reinforce it without disrupting its original features.
Using the Helifix Helibeam System, we’re able to carry out internal structural reinforcement with minimal external alteration. The helical bars are hidden within the mortar beds, and once the repair is repointed, the result blends seamlessly with the surrounding masonry—preserving the property’s historic look while restoring its strength.
