Wall tie replacement for Wrexham properties
If your property is in Wrexham or the LL13 district or nearby Rhosllannerchrugog, Buckley and Hawarden, it is within our Clwyd coverage. Wrexham is one of the main towns we cover in Clwyd.
Damp in an insulated Wrexham home is not always the insulation's fault, so the diagnosis comes before any extraction. If your Wrexham installation has a guarantee, we check it first; the guarantee route may cover the work.
Before any material is chosen, exposure is checked. 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.
In terms of approvals, if cavity wall insulation follows in Wrexham, filling a cavity is notifiable work under the Building Regulations as they apply in Wales, usually self-certified through a competent person scheme.

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.
