Structural Concrete Repair
Get in TouchAt Concrete Repair Contractor, we specialise in structural concrete repair across and the surrounding area. Our services address common issues such as cracks, spalling and deterioration in concrete structures.
We work with residential, commercial and industrial clients to ensure structural integrity and safety are maintained. Our experienced team uses advanced techniques and high-quality materials to deliver durable and reliable repairs for a wide range of concrete structures.
What Is Structural Concrete Repair?
Structural concrete repair involves restoring and reinforcing damaged concrete elements, ensuring that buildings maintain their structural soundness. At Concrete Repair Contractor, we focus on addressing issues such as corrosion, cracks, and spalling, which can severely affect the integrity of buildings.
Our approach begins with a detailed inspection using ground-penetrating radar (GPR) to assess the extent of the damage and underlying issues. We then remove deteriorated areas using methods like hydrodemolition or controlled demolition to avoid further damage.
Repair mortars, such as polymer-modified or fibre-reinforced mortars, are applied depending on the repair's nature.
Protective coatings, such as silane or siloxane sealers, are often added to shield against moisture and chloride penetration. Adhering to standards like BS EN 1504 ensures our repairs meet industry benchmarks.
This comprehensive process ensures the longevity of your structure and prevents further deterioration. Contact us to discuss your specific concrete repair needs.

How Much Does Structural Concrete Repair Cost?
Structural concrete repair typically costs between £50 and £150 per m². The cost varies depending on factors such as the severity of the damage, accessibility and the materials used.
The choice between methods like epoxy injection, which is suitable for filling cracks and restoring structural integrity, and surface coatings, designed to protect against environmental factors, can influence the overall expense. We consider additional elements, like the age of the structure and environmental exposure, which might necessitate specific repair techniques.
Our team also assesses the condition of the rebar reinforcement, as corrosion impact may require treatment. Contact us for a detailed assessment and a customised quote tailored to your specific needs.
What Types of Structural Concrete Repair Are Available?
We offer a range of structural concrete repair methods, each designed to address specific problems and meet various industry standards:
Epoxy Injection: Used for filling cracks and restoring structural integrity. This method is ideal for cracks as narrow as 0.1 mm and involves injecting a high-strength epoxy resin under pressure.
Concrete Removal and Replacement: Replace sections that are heavily damaged. We employ pneumatic tools and diamond saw blades to precisely cut and remove deteriorated concrete before placing new, reinforcing concrete.
Corrosion Control: Protect reinforcing steel to prevent rust and deterioration. Techniques such as cathodic protection and galvanic anodes are used to mitigate corrosion by actively controlling the electrochemical reactions that cause it.
Surface Coatings and Sealers: Provide a protective barrier to enhance durability. We apply polyurethane and silane-siloxane sealers, which meet BS EN 1504 standards, to ensure a long-lasting finish resistant to environmental wear.
These methods are suitable for both commercial and residential properties. Get in touch to discuss the most suitable repair method for your project.
How Does Structural Concrete Repair Work?
Our structural concrete repair process typically involves the following steps:
Assessment: We conduct a thorough inspection to determine the extent of damage, using tools such as ultrasonic pulse velocity meters and concrete core sampling to identify structural deficiencies.
Preparation: This includes the careful removal of damaged concrete using methods like hydro-demolition or pneumatic chiseling. We then clean the area with high-pressure washing to ensure proper bonding of repair materials.
Repair: We apply specially formulated repair materials such as epoxy or polymer-modified mortars. These materials are chosen for their strength and compatibility with the existing substrate, meeting relevant standards such as BS EN 1504.
Finishing: The application of protective coatings or sealers, including anti-carbonation and waterproofing layers, helps to extend the life of the repair by preventing future deterioration.
Each step is carried out meticulously by our skilled team to restore durability and functionality, ensuring the structural integrity of your concrete structures. Contact us for expert concrete repair services.
