Wall tie replacement for Hawarden properties
If your property is in Hawarden or the CH5 district or nearby Deeside, Buckley and Flint, it is within our Clwyd coverage. It is about 10 miles north of Wrexham.
If your Hawarden installation has a guarantee, we check it first; the guarantee route may cover the work. Where a Hawarden 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.
Wind-driven rain is the first thing the surveyor weighs up. Parts of Clwyd 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 compliance, if cavity wall insulation follows in Hawarden, filling a cavity is notifiable work under the Building Regulations as they apply in Wales, usually self-certified through a competent person scheme.

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.
