Wall tie replacement for Peterborough properties
Our Cambridgeshire coverage takes in Peterborough (PE1) and nearby March, Huntingdon and Wisbech. It is around 30 miles north-west of Cambridge.
Where a Peterborough 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. Damp in an insulated Peterborough home is not always the insulation's fault, so the diagnosis comes before any extraction.
Exposure matters for every cavity wall. Much of Cambridgeshire 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.
On compliance, if cavity wall insulation follows in Peterborough, filling a cavity is notifiable building work and needs a building notice or competent-person self-certification.

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.
