Wall tie replacement for Newry properties
If your property is in Newry or the BT34 district or nearby Banbridge, Downpatrick and Newtownards, it is within our County Down coverage. It is about 43 miles south-west of Bangor.
Defects such as failed pointing, leaking gutters and bridged damp-proof courses are listed and priced separately for Newry properties, so you can choose who fixes them. Where a Newry 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.
Before any material is chosen, exposure is checked. 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.
For regulations, if cavity wall insulation follows in Newry, 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.
