Wall tie replacement for Strabane properties
If your property is in Strabane or the BT82 district or nearby Omagh, Cookstown and Dungannon, it is within our County Tyrone coverage. It is roughly 16 miles north of Omagh.
We never cold-call in Strabane or anywhere else, and we do not work with doorstep claims companies. Where a Strabane 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.
Every elevation is judged on its own exposure. Parts of County Tyrone 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.
As for paperwork, if cavity wall insulation follows in Strabane, 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.
