Wall tie replacement for Banbridge properties
We cover Banbridge and the BT32 postcode district, including nearby Newry and Downpatrick. It is around 32 miles south-west of Bangor.
Where a Banbridge 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 Banbridge home is not always the insulation's fault, so the diagnosis comes before any extraction.
Local weather affects which walls can be filled. Parts of County Down 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 Banbridge, inserting cavity wall insulation needs a building control application to the council before work starts.

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.
