Ensure Your Home’s Structural Safety with Wall Tie Replacement

Cavity wall ties are essential components used in cavity wall construction to tie the internal and external walls together. Over time, especially in older properties, these ties can corrode, expand, or fail entirely, leading to serious structural problems. At Safeguard Damp Proofing, we provide expert cavity wall tie inspections and replacements to ensure your home remains structurally sound.

Symptoms of Wall Tie Failure:

• Horizontal cracking along mortar joints

• Bulging or bowing walls

• Separation between inner and outer walls

• Spalling (flaking) brickwork

• Visible rust stains on exterior walls
