A method of reinforcing a double skin wall including the step of raking out a bed joint (11) in an outer skin (10) of the wall and grouting a flat bar (13) preferably of deformed or apertured austenitic steel into the joint (11) to form a reinforced beam. An aperture is made below the beam formed, to permit access to the inner skin (12) of the wall so that a flat reinforcing bar (24) may be similarly incorporated into the inner skin. Additional reinforcement bars may be incorporated at lower points in the outer and inner skins respectively. A reinforced concrete beam may be formed in the aperture formed in the outer skin (10), and a damp proof course or cavity tray may be incorporated into the wall.
