Remedial Wall Ties - Wall Tie Inspection and Replacement

Failing wall ties could be the culprit. These vital components are responsible for connecting the inner and outer leaves of cavity walls, and their deterioration can lead to serious structural issues. If you suspect your wall ties are failing, don't delay. Brady Structural Repairs, serving Chester and Liverpool, offers comprehensive wall tie inspections performed by experienced professionals.

We utilise advanced techniques to accurately assess the condition of your ties and provide a clear, concise report. If replacement is necessary, our skilled team will implement durable and effective solutions to restore the integrity of your walls and protect your property for years to come.

Cavity Walls were introduced in the very late 18th and early 19th centuries to stop the penetration of moisture into the internal skin of masonry. When cavity wall construction began the inner and outer walls were tied together using randomly placed bricks or stones. This method was quickly phased out with the introduction of iron fishtail ties.

Cavity wall ties are prone to defect as moisture penetrates the outer skin of failed pointing and cracked masonry. The ties then corrode and oxidise causing horizontal cracking within the bed joint, severely weakening the structure and increasing the risk of collapse where the external facade moves away from the internal wall.

• Vertical or horizontal cracks in brickwork
• Bulging Brickwork
• Cracks or separation of window reveals
• Lintels sagging

 Wall tie corrosion is a significant issue in older properties and again this can lead to cracking and distortion of masonry. It is essential that corroded wall ties are replaced by remedial cavity wall ties to ensure the cavity wall remains stable. New wall ties may be needed in existing walls to:

• Stabilise the cavity wall where steel ties have expanded due to corrosion.
• Reinstate cavity walls where the existing wire ties have corroded.
• Increase the number of ties in a wall where insifficient ties have been installed, or where embedment is insufficient.
