Gary Wilkinson – Target Structural Wessex, Regional Director

Watch an incredible structural transformation unfold in fast-forward!

Target Fixings is renowned for manufacturing and installing cutting-edge masonry reinforcement materials, providing effective solutions like crack stitching, Bar Flex helical ties, and Bow Flex lateral restraint systems. But our expertise extends far beyond standard house crack repair.

In this compelling new video, Target Structural Wessex (a proud Target Fixings franchise) demonstrates how two skilled technicians tackle a significant, non-standard challenge: replacing a failing, heavy 1960s concrete and iron lintel with a robust, custom-fabricated solid steel lintel. This footage is definitive proof of our capability to handle the most complex structural repairs with top-tier professionalism.

Why is Lintel Replacement Critical?

Lintels are the unsung heroes above your windows and doors, designed to support the enormous load of the masonry above. When they fail due to corrosion, cracking, or overload, the structural integrity of your entire property is severely compromised. This common defect, known as lintel failure, can lead to:

• Unsightly and dangerous cracks in brickwork and plaster, often misdiagnosed as simple wall crack solutions.
• Sagging window frames and difficulty opening/closing windows.
• The potential for severe structural problems if left unaddressed.

For Building Surveyors, recognizing the signs of imminent failure and requiring a complete replacement, rather than just reinforcement, is key to an accurate structural diagnosis.
