Cracks come in many forms, and not all of them mean the same thing. At ASRS, one of the first things we do when we inspect a property in Cardiff is determine what kind of cracks we’re dealing with. Hairline cracks in plaster are often cosmetic and might not need anything more than a basic repair. These can happen due to minor settling, changes in temperature, or the natural movement of materials. However, when cracks are wide, run diagonally, or appear near doors and windows, they could be signs of a deeper structural problem.

Cracks that open and close depending on the weather or season can also indicate ground movement or moisture issues. We often come across vertical cracks in masonry, horizontal cracks in foundations, and stair-step cracks in brickwork – each telling us something different. Knowing the type of crack helps us decide the best repair approach. Our Cardiff clients can count on us for a full, honest diagnosis before we begin any work.

Your home is your sanctuary, and when cracks start to appear, it can feel unsettling. At ASRS, we understand how stressful it can be when you notice changes in your walls, ceilings, or outside render. That’s why we’re proud to help homeowners across Cardiff – from Llandaff to Grangetown – identify and repair cracks with skill and care. We know the city’s housing stock well, whether it’s stone-fronted terraces, 1930s semis, or new build estates.

Each style comes with its own construction methods and typical wear patterns. When we carry out crack repairs in a residential setting, we take the time to work around your schedule, protect your belongings, and treat your home with the respect it deserves. Our repairs are designed to restore both the structural integrity and appearance of your property. Whether you’re planning to stay for years or thinking of selling, crack repairs done by ASRS can give you peace of mind and boost property value.

Cardiff is home to many older and historically important buildings, from Victorian homes to Grade II listed properties. At ASRS, we specialise in crack repairs for heritage structures, using techniques and materials that respect the building’s character and comply with conservation standards. We’ve worked on sandstone walls, lime mortar joints, and decorative plasterwork – all common in Cardiff’s traditional architecture. When we’re called to a listed property, we approach the repair with extra care and attention to detail.

We often work alongside conservation officers or heritage consultants to ensure that any intervention is both appropriate and reversible where needed. Our goal is always to preserve as much of the original material as possible while strengthening the structure and preventing further damage. We use breathable materials that allow the building to flex and move naturally over time. With ASRS, you’re choosing a team that truly values Cardiff’s architectural heritage and knows how to maintain it properly.
