At Target Fixings, we thrive on the structural challenges in restricted access that others deem impossible. We’re not just selling a product; we’re delivering structural solutions in the most demanding environments. This case study—a complex foundation reinforcement project on a steep Scottish incline—demonstrates exactly how our Heli Pile system overcomes extreme access obstacles.

Watch an incredible transformation unfold in fast-forward with this Lintel Replacement!

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. However, our expertise extends far beyond standard house crack repair.

This case study demonstrates how Target Structural Wessex (a proud Target Fixings franchise) recently completed a significant, non-standard project: replacing a failing, heavy concrete and iron lintel with a robust, custom-fabricated solid steel lintel. This project is definitive proof of our capability to handle the most complex structural repairs with top-tier professionalism.

We can provide a lasting solution for your failing retaining wall with our Heli Pile system, which offers a reliable method for retaining wall repair without extensive excavation. Our specialized Heli Piles are installed to stabilize the wall and prevent further wall cracking, providing a permanent structural fix against future movement and subsidence. This non-invasive process ensures a durable and strong foundation, securing your retaining wall and restoring its integrity for years to come.

When faced with bulging walls or bowing walls, our Bow Flex system provides a discreet and permanent structural repair from the outside. The ties work as an effective form of lateral restraint, securing the masonry to internal floor joists to prevent further movement and wall cracking. This solution offers a non-disruptive alternative to traditional repairs, ensuring a lasting structural fix against subsidence and instability.

Addressing bay window subsidence and the resulting cracks in a bay window requires a dual-action approach. Our Heli-Pile foundation system provides permanent bay window underpinning and stabilization, arresting the vertical sinking that causes diagonal cracks in a bay window. Simultaneously, our Bar Flex reinforcement is used for crack stitching to restore the integrity of the brickwork and fix the cracks where the bay window meets the house, ensuring a durable and seamless structural repair.

In a residential complex in Ruinerwold, we addressed widespread cracks in brick walls caused by a combination of building settlement and the absence of expansion joints. As a leading masonry repair specialist, our team provided a comprehensive structural repair plan to fix the various horizontal cracks in mortar. We successfully resolved the issue, preventing further damage and ensuring the long-term stability of the building with minimal disruption to the residents.
