What is Remedial Building?
Remedial building is the process of repairing the structural and cosmetic damage left behind by foundation movement, water damage, or general structural deterioration. It covers crack stitching, mortar repointing, masonry reinforcement, expanded mesh installation, re-rendering and finishing works.
At AllenCo Construction, remedial building is the second half of every underpinning job. Once the foundation has been stabilised with reinforced concrete bored piers, the structural cracks in your walls, the loose mortar joints, and the damaged render are repaired permanently. Because the foundation is stable, the repairs hold.
The remedial works are carried out by the same licensed builder who performed the underpinning. One team. One warranty. One point of accountability from the first crack inspection through to the final coat of paint.

We Fix the Cause, Not Just the Symptom
There’s no point patching a cracked wall if the foundation underneath it is still moving. AllenCo Construction, every remedial repairs project begins with diagnosis, so the repair holds long term. We run 3 checks before any repair work starts.

Underpinning Where Needed
Where foundation movement is the cause, the home is underpinned and stabilised first. Only once the foundation is stable do the remedial repairs begin.
If your walls are cracking and you’re not sure whether you need underpinning or just a wall repair, see our wall crack repair page for the signs to look for.
Remedial Building FAQs
What is crack stitching?
Crack stitching is a structural repair method where helical ties are installed horizontally across a crack in a brick wall to bind the masonry back together. Thor helical ties are grouted into the mortar joints and covered with expanded mesh and render. The result is a wall that’s structurally tied back together across the crack.
Do I need underpinning before remedial works?
You need underpinning before remedial works if the cause of the cracking is ongoing foundation movement. Repairing cracks while the foundation is still moving means the cracks will reopen. AllenCo inspects the cause of the damage first, performs the underpinning if needed, and then completes the remedial works once the foundation is stable.
What's the difference between a remedial builder and a regular builder?
The main difference between a remedial builder and a regular builder is that a remedial builder specialises in repairing and restoring existing structures, whereas a regular builder focuses on new construction. Remedial builders are trained in structural repair methods like crack stitching, underpinning, and masonry reinforcement.
Are your remedial repairs guaranteed?
All remedial building work is backed by our 10-year guarantee. Because we stabilise the foundation before completing the repairs, the cracks stay closed and the work holds. We’re a licensed builder with $10M public liability cover.
