Wall tie replacement for Sandhurst properties
Sandhurst sits in Berkshire, roughly 11 miles south-east of Reading. We work across the GU47 district, including nearby Crowthorne, Bracknell and Wokingham.
Damp in an insulated Sandhurst home is not always the insulation's fault, so the diagnosis comes before any extraction. If your Sandhurst installation has a guarantee, we check it first; the guarantee route may cover the work.
Every elevation is judged on its own exposure. 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 Sandhurst, 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.
