Not all cracks are created equal. Some are harmless, while others are a sign of deeper structural issues. That’s why it’s important to have a professional assess the situation rather than guessing based on appearance alone. At ASRS, we come across many types of cracks during our work in Bristol homes and buildings. Hairline cracks in plaster or paint might be nothing more than natural settling, especially in older buildings.

However, larger cracks, diagonal ones near windows or doors, or cracks that appear suddenly could suggest movement in the structure or even subsidence. We take the time to investigate fully, using specialist tools and our local knowledge to get to the bottom of it. Whether the crack is in brickwork, concrete, render or internal walls, we know how to classify it and, more importantly, how to fix it safely and permanently.

At ASRS, we believe in doing things properly. When it comes to crack repairs, that means taking the time to diagnose the issue correctly before carrying out any work. Once we’ve identified the type and cause of the crack, we’ll recommend the most effective and long-lasting repair method. In many cases, this involves using specialist resin injection or crack stitching bars to stabilise and strengthen the area. We always use high-quality materials that are compatible with the building’s construction.

If the crack is cosmetic only, we’ll repair it in a way that blends seamlessly with the surrounding surface, whether that’s brick, render or plaster. For structural cracks, we’ll work with structural engineers if needed to ensure everything is safe and up to standard. Most importantly, we’ll keep you informed throughout the process, so you understand exactly what we’re doing and why. Our goal is to fix the problem properly and give you confidence in your property again.

Cracks don’t just affect homes – we also carry out crack repair work for commercial and industrial buildings across Bristol and the surrounding areas. From office blocks to schools, warehouses to retail units, structural damage can impact business operations and pose safety risks if left untreated. At ASRS, we understand that commercial work often comes with different challenges. There may be access restrictions, working hours to consider, or the need for reports for insurance or compliance purposes.

We’re experienced in working within these frameworks and can tailor our services to fit your needs. Our team works efficiently and discreetly, ensuring the job is done to a high standard without disrupting your business. We can also liaise with building managers, surveyors, or engineers where needed. If you’re responsible for a commercial building in Bristol and notice signs of cracking, don’t leave it to chance – get in touch with ASRS and let us take care of it properly.
