Wall Tie Replacement
Wall-tie investigations, sampling and structural assessment, followed by remedial wall ties and masonry reinforcement where cavity wall ties have corroded or failed.
Identifying and resolving wall-tie failure
Cavity wall ties can corrode over time, particularly in older properties, causing horizontal cracking, bowing and separation of the two leaves of masonry. We investigate properly before recommending replacement.
