Wall Tie Failure in the North East

Wall tie corrosion is unfortunately something you never think about until it fails, and when it does fail, it can cause significant damage to your property.

With over 20 years of experience completing both surveys and repairs, we have seen our fair share of wall tie failures throughout the North East, from commercial buildings becoming unstable to wall tie failure in residential properties resulting in the complete collapse of an outer leaf wall causing damage to vehicles and potential risk to life.

In the majority of these cases, the homeowner is aware of some cracking or bulge at the property but believes it not to be too serious, until the weather changes and by then it can be too late!

If you believe your property may require cavity wall tie replacement, please check out our previous blog “Signs of cavity wall tie failure” We have some helpful tips and information on what to look out for.

If you notice your neighbor’s property to have some horizontal cracks and bulging, then it is not uncommon for the entire street to have the same problem, as all the properties would have been built around the same time.

Our team has been busy completing wall tie replacements in various locations around the North East and if we can give you any advice, NOW is the time to act before the year is out and winter is upon us. High winds, constant rain, and continuing storms can put pressure on a building structure and if works are required then sometimes this can not be completed due to the health and safety of our team in winter conditions.
