SIGNS OF WALL TIE FAILURE

Signs of wall tie failure

A professional wall tie survey is essential to identify the original tie type used in construction. Certain types must be isolated or removed after installing a new wall tie system.

Even with new ties installed, old redundant ties can continue to corrode and expand, causing further cracking and damage if not addressed correctly.

  • Horizontal Cracking

    Horizontal cracks usually appear in the mortar joints and are commonly caused by the expansion of corroding wall ties. As the steel rusts, it expands and forces the surrounding masonry apart.

  • Bulging Masonry

    Bulging or bowing walls occur when wall ties fail and no longer restrain the outer leaf. In severe cases, this can lead to instability and potential collapse if left untreated.

  • Stepped Cracking

    Stepped cracking follows the mortar joints in a stair-step pattern. This is a strong indication of wall tie failure, where expansion or movement is transferring stress through the brickwork.

  • Window / Door Opening Distortion

    Gaps or distortion around windows and doors can occur when the wall loses stability. Failed ties allow movement, which puts pressure on openings and causes misalignment.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT WALL TIES

What are wall ties and what do they do?2026-06-17T14:06:14+00:00

Wall ties are metal components installed within cavity walls to connect the external brickwork to the internal wall structure. Their purpose is to help both parts of the wall act as a single unit, improving structural stability and resistance to movement. Without properly functioning wall ties, the outer brickwork can become unstable and potentially develop defects over time.

What are the most common signs of wall tie failure?2026-06-17T14:06:45+00:00

Common signs of wall tie failure include horizontal cracking in mortar joints, stepped cracks within brickwork, bulging walls, lifting mortar joints, rust staining, and movement around windows or doors. These defects often develop gradually and may become more severe as wall ties corrode and expand within the cavity wall.

Which properties are most at risk of wall tie failure?2026-06-17T14:07:08+00:00

Older cavity wall properties are generally more susceptible to wall tie deterioration, particularly homes built with galvanised or mild steel wall ties. Over time, moisture entering the cavity can cause corrosion, leading to expansion of the wall ties and damage to surrounding masonry.

How do I know if I need a wall tie survey?2026-06-17T14:10:42+00:00

A wall tie survey may be recommended if you have noticed cracking, bulging brickwork, movement within walls, or if concerns have been raised by a building surveyor or mortgage lender. A specialist inspection can identify whether wall tie failure is present and determine if repairs are required.

What happens during a wall tie survey?2026-06-17T14:11:08+00:00

A professional wall tie survey typically includes internal and external visual inspections, cavity wall investigations using specialist equipment, borescope inspections where required, photographic evidence, and a written report outlining findings and recommendations.

Can wall tie failure affect a mortgage application?2026-06-17T14:11:33+00:00

Yes. Mortgage lenders and surveyors can sometimes request a specialist wall tie survey if structural movement or cracking is identified during a property valuation. The survey helps establish the cause of defects and whether remedial work is necessary.

Can damaged wall ties be replaced?2026-06-17T14:12:02+00:00

Yes. Corroded or failing wall ties can usually be replaced using specialist remedial wall tie systems designed to restore stability within cavity wall construction. Replacement wall ties are installed while the original ties are isolated where required.

Why is it important to identify wall tie problems early?2026-06-17T14:12:30+00:00

Identifying wall tie failure early can help prevent further structural movement and avoid more extensive damage to brickwork. Early diagnosis often reduces repair costs and helps property owners make informed decisions before problems worsen.
