Wall tie replacement for Stockton-on-Tees properties
Our County Durham coverage takes in Stockton-on-Tees (TS18) and nearby Billingham, Thornaby-on-Tees and Hartlepool. It is about 17 miles south-east of Durham.
Damp in an insulated Stockton-on-Tees home is not always the insulation's fault, so the diagnosis comes before any extraction. Defects such as failed pointing, leaking gutters and bridged damp-proof courses are listed and priced separately for Stockton-on-Tees properties, so you can choose who fixes them.
Exposure matters for every cavity wall. County Durham has a mix of moderate and more exposed sites. Hilltop, coastal and west-facing walls take the brunt of wind-driven rain, so the survey records exposure for each elevation before a material is chosen.
On compliance, if cavity wall insulation follows in Stockton-on-Tees, filling a cavity is notifiable building work and needs a building notice or competent-person self-certification.
Rules in England
Filling a cavity is notifiable building work and needs a building notice or competent-person self-certification if insulation work follows.

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.
