Wall ties are an important part of a cavity wall, helping to connect the inner and outer leaves of masonry and maintain the stability of the wall. Over time, however, older or unsuitable wall ties can deteriorate, particularly where corrosion causes the metal ties to expand and affect the surrounding brickwork.

A wall tie survey can help determine whether your property has signs of wall tie corrosion, failure or movement and whether further investigation or remedial work may be required. This can be particularly important when buying or selling a property, carrying out renovation work, or where visible signs such as horizontal cracking, bulging brickwork or rust staining have appeared.

Our wall tie surveys in Rochdale provide a practical way to establish the condition of the existing wall ties and give you a clear understanding of any issues identified. You’ll receive a detailed report following the survey, with our findings explained in straightforward terms.

A wall tie survey involves a detailed inspection of the external walls to assess the condition of the existing wall ties and identify any signs of corrosion, deterioration, failure or movement. Our surveyors look for visible indicators and, where appropriate, carry out further investigation to establish the condition of the wall ties within the cavity.

We assess areas of the property where wall tie problems may be present, including locations showing cracking, staining, bulging or other signs of movement. The aim is to establish whether the wall ties appear to be performing as intended and whether there are indications that further investigation or remedial work may be necessary.

Once the survey is complete, we provide a clear and detailed wall tie survey report outlining our findings. Our reports are designed to give homeowners, buyers, sellers, landlords and property professionals the information they need to make informed decisions about the property.

With our 24-hour report turnaround, you won’t be left waiting days for the results. Simply book your wall tie survey in Rochdale online and we’ll arrange the inspection at a convenient time.

A professional wall tie survey involves considerably more than simply visiting a property and taking a quick look at the walls. Your survey fee covers the time, specialist equipment, expertise and detailed reporting required to properly inspect the property and provide you with useful information about the condition of the wall ties.

TRAVEL TO YOUR PROPERTY
Our surveyor has to allow time to travel to your property, inspect the location and carry out the survey. We don’t simply provide a quick visual opinion from google — we attend the property and carry out a proper inspection.

30–90 MINUTE SURVEY
The survey itself typically takes around 30 to 90 minutes, depending on the size and type of property, the accessibility of the walls and any areas that require further investigation. Our surveyor takes the time needed to properly assess the property rather than rushing the inspection.

SPECIALIST SURVEY EQUIPMENT
Wall tie surveys can require specialist equipment to investigate the condition and position of wall ties. Our surveyors use the appropriate equipment to help identify potential corrosion, deterioration, failure and other issues that may not be visible during a standard visual inspection.

DETAILED REPORT & PHOTOGRAPHS
After leaving the property, there is still significant work involved. Our surveyor spends additional time reviewing the information gathered during the inspection and preparing your report. This can take a couple of hours, depending on the property and findings. Your report includes relevant photographs, our observations and a clear explanation of the condition of the wall ties and any issues identified.

AND IF WORKS ARE REQUIRED?

If our survey identifies wall tie issues and remedial works are recommended, the cost of your wall tie survey is deducted from the quotation for the recommended works. This means your survey isn’t simply an additional cost if remedial work is required — the survey fee is credited against the cost of the works quoted.

We believe in being transparent about what you’re paying for. A detailed wall tie survey gives you a proper assessment of the property and the information you need to make an informed decision about any remedial work that may be required.

When a cavity wall has been insulated, locating and inspecting the existing wall ties can be more challenging. However, our specialist surveyors have extensive experience working with insulated cavities and use proven inspection methods to locate and assess the ties with minimal disruption.

We would normally drill directly beneath the suspected position of the wall tie. During the original installation of the cavity insulation, there are often small areas of void or reduced insulation immediately beneath the tie. This can allow our borescope camera to access the tie and provide a clear view for inspection and photographic evidence.

Where the insulation is obstructing the inspection point, we can carefully introduce compressed air through the small inspection hole to temporarily clear a small area around the tie. This allows the camera to reach the wall tie without unnecessarily disturbing the surrounding insulation.

In the very rare circumstances where these methods do not provide sufficient access or visibility, we may need to create additional inspection points or, as a last resort, carefully remove a brick to obtain a suitable view of the wall tie. Our priority is always to obtain a sufficient and representative sample of wall ties while keeping disruption to the property to an absolute minimum.
