Why Choose Federation Tuckpointing® for Your Brick Wall Crack Repairs?

Signs Your Brick Wall Cracks Need Repair
- Stepped cracking through mortar joints
- Cracks forming above windows or doors
- Vertical cracks near wall corners
- Gaps widening over time
- Rust staining near openings
- Loose or fretting mortar around cracked areas
Common Causes of Brick Wall Cracks in Perth Homes
Cracks may be caused by:
Tree roots disturbing the foundation
Shifting or subsiding soil
Building vibration or impact
Rusting steel reinforcements (lintels, posts, or ties)
Natural material degradation over time
- Seasonal soil movement affecting foundations
When steel rusts, it can expand up to ten times its size, forcing brickwork apart and leading to serious structural damage. Identifying and treating the underlying cause is the key to long-lasting repairs. In many cases cracking near openings indicates lintel movement, while stepped cracking through mortar joints may require structural stabilisation using crack stitching methods.
If you notice cracking in your brickwork, early structural assessment can prevent further movement and costly repairs.
Our Crack Repair Inspection Process
Correct crack repair begins with identifying whether movement is structural or limited to mortar joints before selecting the appropriate stabilisation method. We don’t just patch cracks. We repair them properly so your walls remain strong for years.
- Assessment: We inspect the wall and diagnose the cause of cracking.
- Proposal: We develop a clear, tailored repair plan.
- Execution: Implement the repair to address the underlying issue, not just the symptoms.
Without pinpointing the cause, any repair is merely a temporary fix, leaving the structural damage unresolved and likely to reappear.
Types of Crack Repairs We Carry Out
Internal Crack Repair Services
Our skilled tradesmen can repair internal cracks seamlessly. As an Authorized Helifix Installer, Federation Tuckpointing® provides invisible crack repair services, ensuring your walls are ready for painting by others.
Plaster and Render Crack Repair
Render can conceal movement within brickwork beneath the surface. Damaged render is removed so the underlying structure can be repaired before reinstating the finish.
Structural Crack Repair & Lintel Replacement
Federation Tuckpointing® specialises in lintel replacement and repair. Cracking above windows and doors often indicates movement in the supporting lintel. Federation Tuckpointing® replaces deteriorated lintels and restores surrounding brickwork to prevent further structural displacement.
Are Brick Wall Cracks Structural or Cosmetic?
Some cracks affect only surface mortar, while stepped cracking patterns, widening gaps or cracks above openings usually indicate structural movement. Early inspection helps determine the correct repair approach.
