Wall tie replacement for Irvine properties
Irvine sits in Ayrshire, around 6 miles west of Kilmarnock. We work across the KA12 district, including nearby Kilmarnock and Ayr.
Defects such as failed pointing, leaking gutters and bridged damp-proof courses are listed and priced separately for Irvine properties, so you can choose who fixes them. Damp in an insulated Irvine home is not always the insulation's fault, so the diagnosis comes before any extraction.
Local weather affects which walls can be filled. Parts of Ayrshire face some of the heaviest wind-driven rain in the UK, especially exposed coastal and upland sites. Here the survey is stricter: some walls suit only certain certified systems, and some should not be filled at all.
On the rules side, if cavity wall insulation follows in Irvine, no building warrant is needed for insulation within a wall, but the work must meet the building standards.
Rules in Scotland
No building warrant is needed for insulation within a wall, but the work must meet the building standards if insulation work follows.

Signs of wall tie failure
Horizontal cracks in mortar joints at regular vertical intervals, bulging brickwork, or lifting of the roof verge. Older galvanised ties, especially in walls built before the 1980s, are the usual suspects.
