Lintel and arch bar damage is most often caused by corrosion occurring in the existing brick ties of the masonry work or deterioration of underlying steel or concrete supports. With Sydney’s coastal location and the prevalence of salty air, corrosion can be accelerated throughout many suburbs with close proximity to the harbour.
Sagging lintels or arches can be a common issue for many homes with lintel repair in Sydney required. When the load-bearing arches begin to move they may need replacing also. In the past this has also meant costly and time consuming rectification work which can be quite inconvenient.
At BillCorp, our approach to lintel and arch repair in Sydney is not only much more cost effective but also quick and doesn’t require you to vacate your home. We prefer to repair the damaged lintel rather than removing and completely re-bricking this load bearing element of your brickwork.Cracked brickwork can lead to a raft of further issues including water damage and weakening of the entire structure. Timely arch replacement work for Sydney homes are required, before more drastic measures need to be considered.
Suburbs of Sydney with period style homes and older brickwork can often see the need for lintel and arch repair. We use industry leading products and methods to remedy and repair lintels in Sydney, assisting renovators and home owners quickly.
As with all our projects, we begin by investigating the root cause of the issue, to ensure that there is no additional issues beyond corrosion that will cause this to worsen in the future. Once these have been established we can begin.
We will then remove the mortar and replace the existing lintel to bring it back to it’s original condition.
All BillCorp projects include the supply and install of any and all scaffold required to carry out the work. We then support the brickwork above the affected lintel with our specially made propping system.
Once supported, we remove the brickwork above the opening with the failed lintel. Once exposed, we will install a new galvanised steel lintel, new flashing and then re-lay the brickwork to match existing layout across the top of new lintel.
