Wall Crack Repair Kit
Our Easi-Fix Crack Stitching Kit contains all the components needed to permanently repair vertical or stepped cracks in masonry walls. It uses high quality helical bars that are easy to install and highly effective.
Repairs carried out using this crack stitching kit system will:

stabilise the structure
provide resistance against further cracking
restore structural integrity

This method of crack-stitching is non-disruptive and avoids extensive and expensive construction work. It’s also a more reliable option than crack injection products. Once the repairs are complete, the bars are fully concealed.   
Easi-Fix Crack Stitching Kit Contains:
Our crack stitching kit has been carefully put together to contain all you need to repair cracks in walls. It includes:

10 x 1 metre x 6mm Helical Spiral Bars
1 x 10kg Permacem Anchor Grout
1 x Mixing Paddle
2 x Nozzles
1 x Mortar Gun and Barrel
1 x Soft Grip Brick Jointer Trowel

How Helical Bars Work
The helical crack stitching bars are installed across cracks in a wall, effectively ‘reconnecting’ or ‘stitching’ the cracked masonry. The tensile forces are then evenly redistributed along the entire length of the steel bar, which restores the structural stability and flexural strength of the masonry.
Using a crack stitching kit
Repairs using the Easi-Fix Crack Stitching Kit are made quickly and easily with the minimum of disruption. They are also inexpensive and won’t cause any further damage to the wall.
Installing crack stitching bars
The stainless steel helical bars are placed into horizontal slots that you cut into the mortar bed joints across the crack. These can be cut using an angle grinder or a mortar chisel. You grout them into place using Permacem Anchor Grout that sets around the helical bar rapidly developing compressive strength. With the helical bars firmly in place, structural integrity is restored. For full crack repair instructions, please consult your kit or read our How to Guide: Crack Stitching and our How to Repair Cracks in Walls guide for further information.

I found the grout gun difficult to use. I even bought some SBR Bonding agent to give the grout mix more elasticity. The small nozzle was just impossible, even after making it wider. Even when using the big nozzle I found that the grout mixture would seep around the sides of the pushing mechanism, even after adjusting it to make it as wide as possible. And due to the design, there was always a large amount of grout left in the bottom of the tube, so emptying it after each use was time consuming. The end of the mixing paddle came loose after 5 uses, but I was able to super glue the end back on, and used it more carefully for another 5 batches. Other than that, the grout was easy to use with a trowel, and set around the helical bars really well. I will definitely buy those items again.

A mortar blade for an angle grinder should be included with the kit as it is essential to the whole project. Advising the client that the mortar removal is extremely dusty is kind of intuitively obvious, but being prepared and wearing a mask is a good safety precaution. Overall, the kit worked as advertised and hopefully will solve my subsidence problem.

Arrived very quickly. And was very easy to use. Job is done now successfully. One suggestion, it would have been good to have had the powder split into two bags or just one and the rest in the tub. As I was unsure how much or how many cartridge fills I needed for the job or indeed how long it would take me to complete. So I used bathroom scales to divide the powder into 2 x 5kg lots and mix one lot at a time. Turns out I needed all 10 kg but It would have gone off before I had finished! Thanks Keith
