Wall tie replacement for Gerrards Cross properties
If your property is in Gerrards Cross or the SL9 district or nearby Chalfont Saint Peter, Amersham and Chesham, it is within our Buckinghamshire coverage. It is roughly 33 miles south of Milton Keynes.
Where a Gerrards Cross wall does need work, bricks are lifted and rebuilt in matching mortar, and the cavity is checked with a camera before it is closed up. We never cold-call in Gerrards Cross or anywhere else, and we do not work with doorstep claims companies.
Exposure matters for every cavity wall. Much of Buckinghamshire 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.
As for paperwork, if cavity wall insulation follows in Gerrards Cross, filling a cavity is notifiable building work and needs a building notice or competent-person self-certification.
Rules in England

Ties and cavity insulation
Ties should be checked before a cavity is filled. Fitting remedial ties does not normally stop a cavity being insulated later, and we can do both in one visit. Where cracking suggests movement, we recommend a structural engineer's view first.
What is included in Gerrards Cross
