Wall ties are essential components that connect the inner and outer leaves of cavity walls. Over time, older wall ties can corrode or fail, leading to cracking, bulging brickwork and structural movement.
Where wall tie failure has led to movement or instability, additional structural support may be required. This can include strengthening openings or installing steel beams to safely redistribute loads and maintain the integrity of the building. In these situations, our experience with RSJ installation and structural support ensures the correct solution is applied.
We offer a complete wall tie service, including:
- Wall tie inspection and assessment
- Remedial wall tie installation
- Replacement of corroded or failed wall ties
- Helical stainless steel wall tie systems
- Making good brickwork and mortar joints
All work is carried out carefully to minimise disruption while ensuring the structural integrity of your property is fully restored.
We have completed specialist training provided by the Wall Tie Installers Federation (WTIF), giving you confidence that our wall tie work follows recognised industry standards and best practice.
This training supports:
- Correct diagnosis of wall tie failure
- Appropriate selection of remedial systems
- Proper installation techniques for long-term performance
Our WTIF training demonstrates our commitment to carrying out wall tie repairs safely, correctly and professionally.
Wall tie failure is not always immediately obvious. Common warning signs include:
- Horizontal cracking in brickwork
- Stepped cracks following mortar joints
- Bulging or bowing external walls
- Cracks around windows and doors
- Damp penetration linked to structural movement
If you notice any of these issues, early assessment can prevent more extensive and costly structural repairs later.
We follow a clear and structured approach to every project:
1. Initial Inspection
We assess the condition of your walls and identify signs of wall tie corrosion or failure.
2. Diagnosis & Recommendation
We determine whether remedial wall tie installation is required and explain the most suitable solution.
3. Wall Tie Installation
New stainless steel or helical wall ties are installed to stabilise the cavity walls.
4. Making Good
Brickwork and mortar joints are carefully repaired to restore appearance and weather resistance.
