Wall tie replacement for Lower Earley properties
If your property is in Lower Earley or the RG6 district or nearby Reading, Wokingham and Crowthorne, it is within our Berkshire coverage. It is roughly 3 miles south-east of Reading.
Defects such as failed pointing, leaking gutters and bridged damp-proof courses are listed and priced separately for Lower Earley properties, so you can choose who fixes them. If your Lower Earley installation has a guarantee, we check it first; the guarantee route may cover the work.
Before any material is chosen, exposure is checked. Much of Berkshire sits in the more sheltered driving-rain zones of the UK, which widens the choice of fill. Exposed elevations, coastal sites and high ground still get checked wall by wall.
For regulations, if cavity wall insulation follows in Lower Earley, filling a cavity is notifiable building work and needs a building notice or competent-person self-certification.

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.
