Professional Wall Tie Surveys in Stockport

Concerned about your cavity wall ties? Our specialist wall tie surveys in Stockport assess the condition of existing wall ties and identify signs of corrosion, failure or previous remedial work.

Our Stockport wall tie inspections use visual assessment, metal detection and targeted borescope inspections to investigate wall tie condition, location and spacing.

Ideal for homeowners, buyers and sellers, especially where a HomeBuyer’s Survey has raised concerns or you need a wall tie report for a sale or re-mortgage.

When Do You Need a Wall Tie Survey?

A wall tie survey in Stockport can help identify problems with existing cavity wall ties before they become a bigger issue.

You may need a wall tie inspection if:

Cracks or damage have appeared in brickwork
Wall tie corrosion or failure is suspected
Previous wall tie replacement has been carried out
A HomeBuyer’s Survey has raised concerns
You are buying, selling or re-mortgaging
A solicitor or mortgage lender requests further investigation
Previous wall tie work has no guarantee or documentation
You want an independent assessment before remedial work

A professional wall tie survey can provide clarity on the condition of the existing installation and help prevent unnecessary costs later.

Wall Tie Surveys for Homeowners, Buyers & Sellers

A wall tie survey in Stockport is often requested when buying, selling or re-mortgaging a property.

A HomeBuyer’s Survey may identify possible wall tie corrosion or previous replacement work. A buyer, solicitor or mortgage lender may then require a specialist wall tie inspection and report.

We assess the existing installation and provide clear findings on its condition, including whether further investigation or remedial work may be required.

Where previous wall tie work has been carried out, guarantees, installation records and test results can also be important in verifying the work.

Our wall tie surveys in Stockport provide a detailed assessment of existing cavity wall ties, including their condition, location and spacing. We also identify defects that may indicate or contribute to wall tie corrosion.

Our Wall Tie Inspection Includes:

Full visual assessment of external elevations for cracking, staining, spalling brickwork and mortar deterioration.
Metal detector readings to locate wall ties and assess their approximate spacing.
Targeted pilot holes to provide access to the cavity.
Borescope camera inspection to view accessible wall ties.
Photographs of wall ties and relevant defects.
Assessment of previous wall tie replacement where identified.

Following your wall tie survey in Stockport, all findings are compiled into a clear, detailed wall tie report.

Our surveys are transparent, evidence-led and not sales-led. We assess the condition of the existing wall ties using relevant BRE guidance and corrosion assessment criteria to determine the appropriate recommendation.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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.

(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 !!!

,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 🙏😃👍

Our reports provide a detailed record of our inspection, findings, photographs and recommendations. If your surveyor, solicitor or mortgage lender has requested specific information, it is advisable to confirm their requirements before arranging the inspection.

Can you inspect wall ties that have already been replaced?Katie2026-08-25T18:18:16+00:00

Can you inspect wall ties that have already been replaced?

Yes. We can investigate evidence of previous wall tie replacement and inspect accessible ties using appropriate methods. Where previous installation work cannot be verified through suitable documentation or testing, this will be explained within our report.

What if the previous wall tie installer has not provided a guarantee?Katie2026-08-25T18:18:44+00:00

What if the previous wall tie installer has not provided a guarantee?

A missing guarantee can make it difficult to verify a previous installation, particularly when a property is being sold or re-mortgaged. We can assess what evidence is available and explain the implications within our wall tie survey report.

Will you have to drill lots of holes in my property?Katie2026-08-25T18:19:28+00:00

Will you have to drill lots of holes in my property?

No. We use targeted pilot holes where required to allow our borescope camera to inspect accessible wall ties within the cavity. The number and location of inspection points will depend on the property and the findings during the survey.

Yes. Where applicable to the survey, the relevant assessment information and criteria used to determine our recommendations are included within our reporting. We believe in providing transparent reports so you can understand how our recommendations have been reached.

Wall Tie Surveys for Homeowners, Buyers & Sellers
