Wall tie replacement for Clydebank properties
If your property is in Clydebank or the G81 district or nearby Bearsden, Bishopbriggs and Dumbarton, it is within our Dunbartonshire coverage. Clydebank is one of the main towns we cover in Dunbartonshire.
Where a Clydebank 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. Defects such as failed pointing, leaking gutters and bridged damp-proof courses are listed and priced separately for Clydebank properties, so you can choose who fixes them.
Every elevation is judged on its own exposure. Parts of Dunbartonshire 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 Clydebank, no building warrant is needed for insulation within a wall, but the work must meet the building standards.
Rules in Scotland
No building warrant is needed for insulation within a wall, but the work must meet the building standards if insulation work follows.
Sources: Scottish Government: building work not requiring a warrant (schedule 3).
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.
