If you require a professional wall tie survey in Preston, Northwest Wall Ties Ltd provides independent wall tie inspections, detailed reports, and expert advice for homeowners, property buyers, surveyors, and mortgage lenders throughout Preston and the surrounding areas.

Our wall tie surveys are designed to assess the condition of cavity wall ties and identify any signs of corrosion, deterioration, or structural movement that may affect the stability of a property’s external masonry. Using specialist wall tie detection equipment and borescope camera inspections, we can investigate the condition of wall ties within cavity walls and provide clear, evidence-based recommendations.

Many properties across Preston, including traditional terraces, semi-detached homes, interwar housing, and post-war developments, were constructed using mild steel wall ties. As these ties age, they can become susceptible to corrosion, potentially leading to horizontal cracking, bulging brickwork, and other signs of wall tie failure.

Our Preston wall tie surveys are carried out in accordance with BRE Digest 329 and BRE Digest 401 guidance and include photographic evidence, cavity observations, corrosion assessments, and comprehensive reporting.

Whether you have noticed signs of possible wall tie failure, have been advised by a surveyor to obtain a specialist inspection, or simply require reassurance regarding the condition of a property before purchase, our surveys provide the information needed to make informed decisions.

As specialists in wall tie inspections and replacement, Northwest Wall Ties Ltd regularly carries out wall tie surveys throughout Preston, Fulwood, Penwortham, Bamber Bridge, Longridge, Leyland, Walton-le-Dale, and the surrounding Lancashire area.

If you own, are buying, or are selling a property in Preston and have noticed cracking brickwork, bulging walls, or signs of structural movement, it may be time to arrange a professional wall tie survey. Corroded or failed wall ties are a common issue in cavity wall properties built between the 1920s and 1980s, and identifying problems early can help prevent more extensive damage and costly repairs.

Before Booking – Please Read the Information Below:

⏰ Arrival Times

Appointment times are provided as 2-hour arrival windows, not survey durations. We use 2-hour arrival slots because every wall tie inspection is different. Survey lengths can vary depending on the property, access requirements, discussions with clients, and any additional observations required during the inspection.

For example, a 9:00am–11:00am appointment slot means your surveyor will arrive at any time within that window.

🏠 Do I Need To Be Home?

Usually, no. Our wall tie surveys in Preston are primarily carried out externally, and we only require access around the outside of the property.

If any gates or access points can be left open, we will ensure they are securely closed again once the inspection has been completed.

🏡 Buying Or Selling A Property?

We regularly carry out wall tie inspections for property purchases, sales, mortgage requirements, and survey investigations throughout Preston and surrounding areas.

Where required, we can arrange access through estate agents. Our surveyors always aim to attend within the agreed appointment window; however, delays can occasionally occur due to estate agent schedules, vendor availability, or property access arrangements. If this affects your booking, we will keep you updated and rearrange as quickly as possible.

At Northwest Wall Ties Ltd, our surveys are carried out by experienced inspectors using specialist wall tie detection equipment and inspection methods to provide an accurate assessment of your wall ties. We don’t base recommendations on assumptions; our findings are supported by evidence, photographs, cavity observations, and recognised industry guidance.

A detailed wall tie report provides valuable information for homeowners, buyers, sellers, surveyors, and mortgage lenders by identifying whether wall ties are performing correctly, showing signs of corrosion, or require further investigation.
