Cavity Wall Tie Replacement

If you have noticed cracking in external brickwork, bulging walls, or horizontal cracks in mortar joints, it could indicate a problem with the cavity wall ties within your property. Wall ties are metal components installed within cavity walls to connect the inner and outer leaves of brickwork. Over time, particularly in older properties, these ties can corrode and expand, which may lead to structural movement and visible damage to the masonry. A professional cavity wall tie survey is the most reliable way to determine whether the wall ties are failing and whether replacement may be required.

During a Timberwise cavity wall tie survey, an experienced specialist will carry out a detailed inspection of the affected areas of the property. This may involve examining external brickwork for characteristic cracking patterns, checking for signs of wall movement, and carrying out investigative checks to assess the condition, spacing, and type of existing wall ties. Specialist equipment may be used to help locate the wall ties and evaluate their condition within the cavity wall.

Following the inspection, you will receive clear professional advice outlining the findings and any recommended remedial work. The purpose of the survey is to establish whether the existing wall ties remain structurally sound or whether corrosion has compromised their effectiveness. If replacement is required, the survey will identify the most appropriate remedial approach to restore the structural stability of the cavity wall.

Timberwise cavity wall tie surveys are available for both domestic and commercial properties, providing property owners, landlords and businesses with expert guidance when concerns arise about the structural integrity of cavity walls. Booking a professional survey ensures you receive an informed assessment and clear recommendations to help protect the long-term stability of your property.
