Wall tie replacement for Coleraine properties
Our County Londonderry coverage takes in Coleraine (BT52) and nearby Limavady, Magherafelt and Derry. It is roughly 27 miles east of Derry.
Damp in an insulated Coleraine 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 Coleraine properties, so you can choose who fixes them.
Local weather affects which walls can be filled. Parts of County Londonderry 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 Coleraine, inserting cavity wall insulation needs a building control application to the council before work starts.

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.
