Wall tie replacement for Ammanford properties
If your property is in Ammanford or the SA18 district or nearby Llanelli and Carmarthen, it is within our Dyfed coverage. It is about 14 miles east of Carmarthen.
Where an Ammanford 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. We never cold-call in Ammanford or anywhere else, and we do not work with doorstep claims companies.
Exposure matters for every cavity wall. Parts of Dyfed 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.
In terms of approvals, if cavity wall insulation follows in Ammanford, filling a cavity is notifiable work under the Building Regulations as they apply in Wales, usually self-certified through a competent person scheme.

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.
What is included in Ammanford
- Isolation or removal of old ties where needed
- Making good
- Remedial stainless ties to a set pattern
