ARE YOU SEEING THESE PROBLEMS?

SIGNS OF WALL TIE FAILURE

Cracks in your home can be worrying — especially if they’re getting worse, spreading across brickwork or accompanied by bulging walls.

Stepped, horizontal or vertical cracks and bulging brickwork can have several causes, including failed or corroded wall ties.

Wall ties connect your external brickwork to the inner structure. Over time, older metal ties can corrode and expand, causing cracking, bulging and wall movement.

Not every crack is caused by wall ties. Settlement, moisture, poor workmanship and other structural issues can cause similar symptoms. Identifying the cause is essential before deciding on repairs.

WHY CHOOSE A WALL TIE SPECIALIST?

Wall tie replacement may seem like a simple job, but incorrect installation can cause costly problems later.

We regularly find previous wall tie installations that do not meet British Standards or cannot be verified. Without a certified installer, guarantee or documentation, it can be difficult to confirm how or when the ties were installed.

This can become a major issue when selling or re-mortgaging a property. In many cases, new wall ties are then required, meaning homeowners pay twice and have additional holes drilled.

Using a wall tie specialist from the start ensures the work is completed correctly, to the required standards, with the appropriate certification and guarantee.

WHAT ARE CAVITY WALL TIES?

what are cavity wall ties
Cavity wall ties are steel connectors that hold the outer brickwork to the inner structure, helping keep a property stable. Over time, older wall ties can corrode and expand, leading to cracked brickwork, bulging walls, and structural movement.

We carry out professional wall tie inspections and replacement across the Northwest, installing stainless steel remedial ties to restore stability and protect the structure long term.

WHY DO WALL TIES NEED REPLACING?

We carry out professional wall tie inspections and replacements across the Northwest using specialist equipment to assess existing ties and install new stainless steel remedial ties where required, in line with current British Standards.

We have recently had our wall ties replaced by Warren and his team after purchasing our first home. The experience we had has been nothing but positive from start to finish. Warren has been great throughout with communication as we experienced some delays with our purchase initially. Great communication and friendly to deal with. Cannot recommend enough. Thank you so much!

Had my wall ties done today by Warren and his team. They have done a really fabulous job. They did a survey first with photo evidence of the corroded ties and a thorough report about the job. Communication was great and they turned up when they were expected. No mess, no fuss, just an excellent job and I would give Warren and his team my recommendation to anyone needing wall ties.

I had these two legends, a proper dad and lad duo, tackle my wall ties back in sep 25. (Apologies for the long wait on review)😬 Honestly, I'm not sure if they specialise in wall ties or filming 😂. They were spot on, explaining every step and answering my million questions without batting an eyelid. Even better, they showed me how to save a few quid by doing some of the work myself. They even sent a video of the finished job, which, let's be honest, was about as thrilling as watching paint dry, but we had a good laugh about it. Top service front start to end, highly recommend if you are looking for quality work and a bit of laugh along the way !!! Liverpool L25

Absolutely superb service: ,Scaffolding company erected the scaffold the day before, these being quick and professional and gave me no issues whatsoever. Warren kept in touch with me throughout the whole process. This in effect kept me fully at ease, the job took a full day with a working crew that just got stuck in and didn’t stop until everything was completed with a full clean up afterwards. Totally happy with an excellent service and would recommend them to anyone requiring the wall tie service. Again, thank you Warren and your crew 🙏😃👍

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS 

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.
