A week in the life of Target Structural Cotswolds

I am Robert Balanel and I am the Regional Director for Target Structural Cotswolds.  We cover Wiltshire and Gloucestershire performing Structural repairs to all kinds of properties.

The last 7 days we have been working at Swindon Magistrates Court.  Because of the nature of what happens there works can only take place at night.  We have been carrying out the replacement of wall ties which we have been using Target Fixings Dri Flex which is perfect for wall tie replacement.  This week began with one of my team Harry and myself repairing the silicone around all of the windows and doors.  Where the existing wall ties had failed it had caused movement as moisture and vapour had got in. We stripped all of the old silicone and replaced it all. This took 3 days to carry out.

We then moved onto the task of filling all the holes from previous wall ties and the holes from the scaffolding.  For this we used Target Fixings Polyester Resin while also using brick dust to colour match the wall leaving no cosmetic damage and is aesthetically pleasing.  This was approximately 500 holes to fill with Resin and is an important job as the moisture and vapour can cause mould. On Friday we were rectifying protruding wall ties.  To do this remove the brick chopping out and pull the wall tie out. We then replace the brick back in place and re-point so it looks like no works have been carried out!

This week going forward we are looking forward to working in the internal courtyard at the magistrates court.  We will be performing Crack Stitching on the walls installing Target Fixings 6mm Bar Flex & Non Shrink Grout Bond Flex which is perfect for the job! The bricks are Calcium Silicate which are manufactured by mixing lime, sand and/or crushed silicaceous or flint stone together with enough water to allow the mixture to be moulded under high pressure. They are light weight and have good thermal properties.  We will be working all week on this and can't wait to get started tonight! We look forward to letting you know how it went next week! Have a good week everyone!
