Brick Repair Services
At Invicta Rail, we specialise in professional brick repair solutions tailored specifically for the railway industry. With decades of experience and a strong reputation for reliability and precision, our services are designed to ensure the safety, functionality, and longevity of rail infrastructure throughout the UK. From planned maintenance to emergency interventions, we offer a full spectrum of brick and masonry services for railway assets, including bridges, tunnels, culverts, retaining walls, and viaducts.

Whether repairing isolated defects or undertaking complete structural refurbishments, we provide scalable, efficient solutions that are responsive to the demands of live railway environments.
Comprehensive Masonry & Brick Repairs
Brick and masonry structures are essential components of the railway network, providing critical support and enduring strength. Over time, however, these materials can degrade due to environmental exposure, load stresses, or age-related wear. Our team delivers expert brick repair and restoration services, addressing everything from minor cracks to major structural faults.
Key brick repair techniques we employ include:
- Brick Replacement – Carefully removing damaged bricks and replacing them with matching units.
- Repointing – Removing deteriorated mortar and applying new, durable joint materials.
- Stitching – Using helical bars to stabilise cracked brickwork and prevent further movement.
- Cavity Rebuilding – Reconstructing inner and outer leaves where full recasing is necessary.
Our work adheres to the highest industry standards, ensuring durability, safety, and visual consistency, particularly in heritage railway settings. Each repair project begins with a comprehensive assessment to ensure all structural risks are addressed before work begins.
Collaboration with Arch Co.
Invicta Rail is proud to work in collaboration with Arch Co., supporting the preservation and restoration of railway arches across the UK. These historic structures are vital assets, often supporting commercial spaces and transit pathways. Our services include comprehensive brick repairs, repointing, reinforcement, and integration of modern materials that uphold both aesthetic and structural values.
Our goal is to extend the life of these arches while respecting their heritage. Each project undertaken in partnership with Arch Co. is guided by detailed inspections and collaborative planning, ensuring both compliance and continuity with existing structural frameworks.
Tunnel & Culvert Maintenance
Tunnels and culverts are critical parts of rail infrastructure, often facing severe environmental challenges like water ingress, ground movement, and corrosion. Our repair and maintenance services are designed to mitigate these risks and restore structural performance.
We provide:
- Brick and stone lining repair
- Waterproofing and drainage improvements
- Structural reinforcement
- Crack injection and stabilisation
Our team conducts thorough inspections and uses proven techniques to ensure tunnels and culverts meet all operational and safety requirements. With the right intervention, even significantly aged structures can be restored to full functionality with minimal service disruption.
Structural Insulated Panels (SIP)
We integrate modern solutions such as Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs) into brick repair projects when appropriate. These high-performance panels enhance the energy efficiency and thermal properties of railway buildings and structures. SIPs also improve overall structural integrity and are ideal for refurbishments that require a combination of traditional craftsmanship and modern engineering.
By combining SIPs with robust brick repairs, we offer a hybrid solution that balances sustainability, performance, and aesthetic appeal—essential for modern rail infrastructure developments. Their lightweight properties and ease of installation also reduce construction times, providing additional value for time-sensitive projects.
