Lateral Restraint – Bowed Walls In Manchester

ASRS Ltd specialises in the installation of lateral restraints and the repair of bowed walls across Manchester and surrounding areas. Bowed or bulging walls are a common structural issue, particularly in older brick properties where the external walls begin to lean or push outward due to a lack of support. This type of movement often develops over time and can be the result of missing or inadequate wall ties, floor joist separation, or ongoing pressure from roof or floor loads. In Manchester, we see this problem frequently in Victorian and Edwardian homes where age and structural fatigue have weakened the original fixings. Our team uses lateral restraint systems to tie the external walls back to the internal floor structure or load-bearing elements, stopping further movement and restoring long-term stability. If you’re noticing cracking, bulging or misalignment in your brickwork, ASRS Ltd offers professional assessment and repair services to secure and protect your building.

ASRS Ltd takes a careful and considered approach when carrying out lateral restraint works in Manchester. After a thorough structural assessment, we identify the areas where support is lacking and design a solution that connects the external wall to the internal joists or structural framework. The most common method involves the use of stainless steel lateral restraint ties, which are inserted from outside the building and fixed into the floor structure without needing to lift floors or disrupt internal finishes. This non-invasive method allows for rapid installation while maintaining the character and integrity of the property. Our team ensures every restraint is properly positioned to resist outward pressure and stabilise the wall over the long term. In some cases, we may also combine restraint ties with crack stitching or wall tie replacement to address related issues. Whether the building is residential or commercial, we carry out each project in line with structural guidance and with minimal disruption to occupants.
